This free event is sponsored by SGA’s Engineering, Design & Construction Committee.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
To understand the applicability of the Valve Rule and how to assess an operator’s pipeline system, as well as the impacts to the various systems and groups within that operator (construction planning, engineering, integrity, gas control/SCADA, GIS, compliance, etc.). Acquaint yourself with the host of design and performance standards intended to improve pipeline safety by reducing the frequency of pipeline failures.
Who Should Attend:
Engineers, Managers/Directors, Gas Control/SCADA, Integrity, Compliance, Construction Planning, GIS
