Our Damage Prevention Program Training shall provide guidance on the processes and procedures that should be applied as part of an Onshore Pipeline Damage Prevention Program.
Third Party Damage remains a leading cause of incidents affecting onshore pipelines. This is highlighted in industry statistical data by both EGIG (The European Gas Incident Data Group) and UKOPA (United Kingdom Onshore Pipeline Operators Association).
The key purpose of the damage prevention program is to:
Ensure that third-parties are alerted as to the presence of the pipeline prior to commencing any works activities
Limit the risk of any damage to the pipeline through suitable inspection, monitoring and control of any works being undertaken within the proximity of the pipeline (Zone A, Zone B and Consultation Zones).
Ensure that the right of way remains clear and unobstructed (prevention works and reducing infringements), and that the public is informed of requirements.
Limit the risk of any damage through the effective sharing of information to third parties to enable safe planning and control of work within the proximity of the pipeline
Raise awareness with Stakeholders
