I.
Planning the Survey
A. Specific Survey Requirements
During the initial contact with the company official, it is
most important to review survey procedures. If there are
any specific variations from standards involved, the con-
sultant must contact his supervisor. VARIATIONS FROM
STANDARDS MUST BE NOTED ON THE FINAL RE-
PORT.
During the initial contact with the customer, the consult-
ant should, when applicable, arrange to obtain the fol-
lowing data:
1.
A map(s), or lists of main and service locations in
the area to be surveyed. If maps are used, the daily
coverage of the survey should be plotted in a color
code to establish each day’s coverage. Large-scale
maps may be difficult to manage so it is suggested
that you attempt to obtain key sheets of the plate
maps, or small-scale maps, showing large areas.
2.
If your orders indicated that less of the entire sys-
tem is to be surveyed, find out specifically what ar-
eas are to be done.
3.
The name and telephone number of the company
representative you are to call when you find leakage
indication which requires immediate attention
(Grade 1).
4.
The name of the person who is to receive daily re-
ports.
