Are your Pipelines At Risk?

Every time a contractor fires up a backhoe, a work crew pounds in a new road sign, or a property owner augers in a new fence post—your pipelines, production and profits are at risk. If a serious incident occurs, a lot more than just the ground will be disturbed. Yes, there are provincial programs in place designed to protect your pipelines and other underground services. But initiatives like Alberta 1-Call are only as effective as how well your company manages a myriad of ever changing details. One missed detail can lead to disaster.

Serious Consequences

Many of the E&P companies we’ve audited have serious deficiencies in how they manage their 1-Call responsibilities and obligations. Even if you never have to deal with a pipeline rupture or hit, these deficiencies can easily result in:

• Wasted time and money due to operating inefficiencies.
• Damage to your company’s reputation.
• Assessment by the ERCB of a high-risk non-compliance, for which the potential consequences are:

- Non-compliance fees
- Partial or full suspension of the pipeline
- Increased audits or inspections, and more.


What’s the Best Use of Your Employees’ Time?

Is it the best use of your employees’ time to have them:

• Learn all the intricacies of your 1-Call responsibilities and obligations?
• Create a system to handle every locate ticket?
• Regularly interrupt high priority duties to liaise with locate companies and talk. with every contractor or property owner disturbing the ground in areas where you have pipelines?
• Dedicate the hours required every month to update your pipeline data with 1-Call?
• Stay up-to-date with every policy and legislation change affecting 1-Call members?
• Considering all of the hours that effective 1-Call management requires, it’s likely that there are higher priorities for your employees to focus on.
