Proven Leader
Heath builds the instruments, delivers the services, and trains the teams that keep methane programs moving. From detection and quantification to compliance support and locating training, our field-proven expertise helps utilities operate safer, smarter, and with greater confidence.
Portable methane leak detection, utilizing stand-off laser, portable infrared or NDIR sensors these instruments deliver fast, accurate leak detection across a wide range of operating environments in real world field conditions.
Advanced mobile technology helps utilities strengthen regulatory compliance with transparent, auditable survey data aligned to evolving state and federal requirements. With PPB-level sensitivity and real-time methane, ethane, and environmental measurements, it delivers accurate leak detection and quantification while expanding survey coverage and helping crews find and address leaks faster.
The measurement technology and services that give operators and regulators the emissions data that compliance increasingly demands — built on instruments that have been proven in production environments, not just laboratories.
Field-grounded training that bridges the gap between classroom knowledge and what actually happens when you’re standing over a congested utility corridor with a locating instrument in your hand and a crew waiting on your call.
The Advance Partnership
SGA’s Advance Partnership is not a sponsorship tier. It is a governance model that embeds partner expertise directly into the training systems, committees, and workforce development infrastructure that operators depend on year-round.
01 — Share
Heath’s expertise is integrated into SGA’s year-round learning infrastructure — not just represented at events. Co-developed curriculum, the Distribution Self-Study Guide, and faculty-led training that reaches operators at every level.
02 — Grow
Advance Partners present as educators and subject-matter contributors, not vendors. Heath’s people are in the room because of what they know and what they contribute — that distinction is what makes operators pay attention.
03 — Advance
Minimum three measurable deliverables annually. Committee advisor roles. Content that stays in SGA’s knowledge base long after the conference season ends. This is what workforce infrastructure looks like when it’s built to last.
2026 Contributions
The measure of an Advance Partnership is what gets produced — not what gets promised. Here is what Heath Consultants has delivered and is delivering in 2026.
Women’s Symposium Keynote
Carolyn Heath Haag delivered the keynote at SGA’s Women’s Symposium — contributing insight on leadership, legacy, and industry development.
Distribution Self-Study Guide
Heath contributed field imagery to SGA’s Distribution Self-Study Guide, shaping how the next generation of natural gas professionals understands the systems they’ll work on.
Line Locating Workshops — 5-City Series
Hands-on utility locating training across five North American locations in direct response to SGA member requests.
Sales Training Program
A new SGA training offering in development with Heath, bringing field-grounded sales knowledge to operator member companies.
Hands-On Training
Accurate utility locating is critical to safe natural gas operations — yet training is often inconsistent or overly theoretical, leaving gaps between knowledge and what happens in the field. These gaps lead to mislocates, utility strikes, safety incidents, and increased costs. Heath’s workshops close that gap.
Heath’s commitment to education, practical training, and technology innovation will help our members strengthen workforce capability and operational performance.
