reality. >> using a laser and these three here are cameras. >> this 3d laser scanner maps the surface of a natural gas pipeline in high def, down to the virtually invisible measurement of 40 microns. that's about the width of the smallest human air. it shows engineers and can calculate for them whether corrosion is bad enough to make the pipe unsafe. >> because of the fact we are scanning 100% of the external corroded area you have a lot more data that you are collecting. especially if you go with the high-resolution mode. >> the conventional method involves taking chicken wire, painting a grid of one inch square and using a manual tool to measure the depth. >> using the scanner compared to the conventional means to save literally hours and hours and hours. >> the laser beam bounces off these round reflecter dots to measure the scanner's
5:40 am
relationship to the pipe's surface. it's being tested and used in the field as part of pg&e's wreck pipe maintenance program. the 2010 san bruno pipe explosion was caused by the failure of old faulty welds tharpe never properly tested. 8 people were killed and 38 homes destroyed. it's unlikely the laser scanner would have caught those internal shallow welds. it looks at ex-teario only. pg&e has added new internal inspection tools since then as well. the device costs many thousands of dollars. costs could be a factor in determining whether pg&e gets any more. in san ramon, abc7 news. all right. meteorologist lisa argen joins us now with a preview of what is to come. >> yeah. certainly colder this morning. 2 to 14 degrees colder up in napa. we are freezing. the golden gate bridge quiet but
