Posted in GA Updates on Wed, Jun 1, 2011
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has
announced public meetings to address recent pipeline incidents
involving seam weld anomalies, gaps in data and recordkeeping and
driving a stronger focus on better managing these challenges. The
meetings are part of PHMSA's efforts to address the Secretary of
Transportation's ``Call to Action'' to address pipeline
infrastructure risks, drive for more aggressive safety efforts and
to be more transparent when executing these safety measures. The
meetings are designed to provide an open forum for exchanging
information on the challenges associated with pipeline seam welds
and improving pipeline risk assessments and recordkeeping. On July
20, the topic will be Managing Challenges with Pipeline Seam Welds
and on July 21, Improving Pipeline Risk Assessments and
Recordkeeping. The public meetings will be held at The Westin
Arlington Gateway, 801 North Glebe Road, Arlington, VA 22203.
