A new mosaic mapboard system recently installed at New Jersey natural Gas Co. depicts the layout of the utility`s 214 miles of natural gas transmission lines and over 500 miles of distribution lines. In addition, the board includes the status of equipment, flow information and pressures and valve settings all superimposed on a graphic of its North and Central New Jersey service territory. The growing utility recently converted existing office space at its headquarters in Wall Township, NJ, into a new control center to centralize control of its transmission and distribution operation. The centerpiece of the 3,000-square-foot control center is a 12-foot x 25-foot mosaic mapboard manufactured by Mauell Corp. of Dillsburg, PA, a provider of design/build services for control facilities and a supplier of control center equipment including mosaic mapboards. The paper describes the new control center and its use and maintenance.
