MAOP Verification
The recently enacted Federal Legislation (H.R. 2845; Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011) creates a challenge for pipeline owners and operators, having to verify MAOP in such a short time frame. GTS is uniquely qualified to help our clients establish and deploy a process and workflow that will verify the accuracy and completeness of records used to establish pipeline MAOP. We have the flexibility to integrate our resources and work on-site with the pipeline owner/operator or work independently in a production type environment to achieve MAOP Verification. Verification of data elements and pipeline attributes will serve to populate a Pipeline Features List (PFL) and can be used for future asset management applications.
