CUIIC Academy Presents: Pipeline Integrity Management at ATCO

Описание: ATCO operates and maintains approximately 9,000km of high-pressure natural gas transmission lines and approximately 55,000km of low-pressure natural gas distribution lines across the province of Alberta. Managing the safe operation of this large portfolio of utility assets requires a comprehensive and coordinated integrity management plan. In this webinar, you’ll see an overview of what ATCO does to execute its integrity management plan, with a focus on steel pipelines. You’ll see how integrity management considerations are integrated into all phases of the pipeline life cycle from design, through construction and operation, to decommissioning to ensure that ATCO’s assets remain economical, reliable, and safe.
