Pipeline Safety
The safe transportation of hazardous materials to facilities and consumers is a valid concern today as we see more pipelines being built and more hazardous material transportation in these pipelines.To ensure pipelines are a minimum threat to people and the environment,regulations have to be followed and continually developed to ensure the safe classification,handling and packing of these hazardous materials.In the United States,the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) oversees the design,construction,operation,maintenance and spill response planning for some 2.6 million miles of natural gas and hazardous liquid pipelines.This paper discusses some of the pipeline regulations in the US,significant safety incidents that have occurred from pipelines,internal corrosion,and new pipeline safety and routing concerns.This paper also discusses PHMSA applying the integrity management program (IMP) requirements,or some elements of IMP,to areas beyond current high consequence areas (HCAs).
