GTS  can review an operator’s existing gas integrity management and compliance programs, procedures and practices as compared to the requirements of Part 1 of Pipeline Safety Regulatory Rule changes under Docket No. PHMSA–2011–0023, also referred to as the “Transmission Mega Rule”.

GTS will utilize a team with extensive experience in developing, implementing and managing integrity management, pipeline safety & regulatory compliance and MAOP Reconfirmation programs for gas utilities and pipeline operators.  This team will assess the effectiveness of a company’s gas program implementation, or the status of programs to be implemented, in comparison to the rule changes/requirements. GTS will provide the operator/client with a report containing the results of the evaluation, including a summary of the observations and findings, and recommendations for closing the surfaced gaps.  In addition, GTS can assist in actions to close the gaps.
