Pipeline GIS System Assessments

Asset Management, Regulatory Compliance and Risk 

Recently, new PHMSA and state rules have been altering common pipeline operations. The Gas Mega Rule, Hazardous Liquids Rule, and the Gas Gathering Final Rule are just a few examples. These new regulations are changing pipeline operations and integrity tasks: requiring efficiencies for in-ground assets, opportunistic field data capture, methane reductions and an overall focus on data accuracy, transparency, traceability, and reliability.

Pipeline Safety & Operational Efficiency Challenges

The new rules and standards increase pipeline safety and create an opportunity for operators to effectively manage, prioritize, and capitalize their operations.  INTEGRI-TEK assists by integrating processes, data, and records for stakeholders – utilizing existing data and technology. When faced with deploying an enterprise data management and GIS system, companies may have issues with balancing time, resources, and funds to keep up with the rapid evolutions in technology.  Our Business Intelligence Experts support companies with these challenges while leveraging existing tools and data.

A constantly changing energy infrastructure landscape, new regulatory requirements and maintaining legacy systems, upgrades, and replacements calls for our expertise in creating efficient workflows, managing risk and prioritizing projects. Accurate, validated, and well-maintained data and an enterprise GIS system is crucial in providing insight and data reliability for the complex systems needed to manage risk and prioritize work.
