Project Overview
GasOps needed a robust business intelligence solution to access and analyze data from construction, maintenance, and operations activities for compliance, regulatory reporting, and risk management — without disrupting existing processes. After attempting to build the solution with developers from MIT and Stanford and facing significant technical and domain complexity, GasOps approached Athenaworks to deliver a committed, expert team capable of meeting deadlines and producing enterprise-grade results.

Client Background
GasOps is a natural gas industry leader with 20+ years of experience, offering innovative solutions for efficient data collection and operational clarity. The company serves both large natural gas utility companies and small municipal operators, managing complex construction, maintenance, and inspection operations across multiple locations — including signal-challenging environments like tunnels.
The Challenge
Despite a data-centric and asset-centric operational model, GasOps struggled to extract actionable insights from its data. Key challenges included:
– Siloed databases resulting from fragmented data collection across locations
– No unified visibility for organizations with diverse stakeholders and hierarchical levels
– Progress tracking gaps in signal-challenging environments (e.g., tunnels)
– Time-consuming reporting systems for DOT Annual Reports and Mechanical Fitting Failure Reports
– Business risk from unclear insights and lack of real-time operational data
Athenaworks designed a functional bifurcation of GasOps’ enterprise application into four synced products — one web admin platform and three specialized iOS apps — each targeting different stakeholder levels and field environments.

GasOps Admin Web App
– Centralized platform for compliance, regulatory reporting, and risk management
– Intelligent forms mirroring industry best practices for construction, maintenance, and operations data
– Eliminates transcription errors via barcode scanning
– Supports DOT Annual Reports, Mechanical Fitting Failure Reports, and other industry-specific outputs
– SaaS model — no hardware or software installation required; updates deployed automatically
GasOps Inspection App (iOS)
– Collects component-level data and **real-time, location-based information**
– Supports monthly and yearly inspection cycles
– Tracks asset condition, corrosion status, and repair requirements
GasOps Leak-Sketch App (iOS)
– Built for field crews to draw and document leak sketches on-site
– Pinpoints exact leak locations with all required contextual information
GasOps Tunnel App (iOS)
– Designed for tunnel inspectors working across multiple global locations
– Supports online and offline inspection with cloud sync
– Features barcode scanning, image capture, and keyword-based tunnel search
– No data stored on device — all information transmitted via encryption technology
All four apps are fully synced, enabling unified data visibility across the organization.
