Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania Selects Envista
 BEVERLY,
MA, Apr 1, 2009 - Envista Corporation, a provider of web-based software for
infrastructure project coordination, today announced Columbia Gas of
Pennsylvania will implement its map-driven technology for current and future
construction projects. Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania, a subsidiary of
NiSource, Inc. (NYSE:NI), launched a 20-year natural gas infrastructure
replacement program in 2007.
The infrastructure replacement program is an ongoing, long-term endeavor to
upgrade gas lines and facilities throughout Columbia’s delivery system.
Envista's innovative technology enables Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania to manage
renewal projects internally while introducing a new method to share projects and
schedules with municipalities, the Department of Transportation and other
utilities working in the same road "right of way." This capability translates
into less digging in neighborhoods and streets, and minimizes the impact of work
on local communities.
"We have been looking for technology that would help us manage our gas
infrastructure improvement program, and the Envista software provides a timely
solution to our immediate needs," said Rob Mooney, Manager, Field Engineering
for Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania. "It provides us the ability to share project
schedules with other operators of underground infrastructure such as local
municipalities, the Department of Transportation and other utilities. This
technology immediately delivers benefits through improved coordination of
construction projects reducing the impact to commuters around our work zones.”
“We are proud to work with Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania on their “Pipeline to
the Future” and we believe that our technology was tailor-made for an
infrastructure program of this magnitude. Envista facilitates long term capital
planning, and delivers the automation and best practices needed in the
industry," said Envista CEO Rick Fiery. "We are confident our solution will
deliver unprecedented efficiencies in managing and coordinating infrastructure
renewal for decades to come."
