Event Summary
Natural gas operators face many challenges to ensure their construction projects stay on time and budget while limiting disruption to the community and protecting the environment. From the PIPES Act to ESG/Sustainability and Emission Reduction Goals, gas operators face increasing pressure and expectations to reduce emissions. As a former utility operator, Gina Rundo has navigated the nebulous situation of knowing environmental commitments and goals have been set without a fully developed implementation plan. You likely have two very real concerns: operational and cost impacts – will these environmental measures be as safe as traditional methods? Will this disrupt the community or prolong the project? What options do I have? What equipment purchases do I need to consider? What other options do I have to manage? With Gina’s years of operational experience, she can answer those questions and address your concerns.
Attendees will receive 1 Professional Development Hour (PDH) upon completion.
