PIPELINE SYSTEM INTEGRITY
The goals for the development of integrity management standards include integrity assessment for pipelines located in high-consequence areas (HCA'S), integrating data, assessment, periodic reassessment and improving the integrity management systems within operating pipeline companies. The development of a pipeline integrity program requires a well balanced approach. The staff at EN Engineering has managed and operated the assets of major gas transmission and distribution companies for decades. EN Engineering's customers include gas distribution and gas transmission companies, oil and liquid petroleum facilities and industrial facilities.

EN Engineering is uniquely positioned to help you with your pipeline integrity management program.

PROGRAM MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT

From the identification and analysis of HCA's to the written documentation of your pipeline integrity procedures, EN Engineering can help you to:
Identify High Consequence Areas (HCA's)
Gather, assess and integrate your data
Provide for corrosion surveys, external corrosion and internal corrosion direct assessment (ECDA
  and ICDA) and metallurgical support
Conduct Risk Assessment - probability of failure and consequence of failure
Complete inspection - from internal tool inspection (ILI) to pressure testing
Provide support for your interface to regulatory agencies
Develop pipeline integrity plans, procedures and reports
Provide design and management for repairs and modifications
Provide mitigation options including design implementation and documentation
Provide program and system audits and reviews

EN Engineering has an extensive engineering and Design & Drafting team with operational knowledge related to the requirements established by the Department of Transportation (DOT). EN Engineering can smoothly and efficiently produce pipeline alignment maps to aid in the identification of applicable pipeline segments.


DATA GATHERING, REVIEW AND ASSESSMENT

 A key element of the integrity management framework is the integration of all pertinent information. Data resolution to a common reference is required in order to determine where the risks of an incident are the greatest, and to make prudent decisions for assessing and reducing those risks.

EN Engineering's operational background offers seamless support to gather and assess pipeline system data such as:
Pipe manufacture and method
Construction installation methods
Soils and environmental records
Operational data and trends
Bell-hole excavation/incident records
In-line inspection (ILI) records
Corrosion control & cathodic protection records
Metallurgical experience
Field failure
Welding support

At EN Engineering, we have the expertise to evaluate cathodic protection and corrosion control threats using methods such as:
Cathodic protection system analysis
Close interval survey
DC voltage gradient surveys
ECDA and ICDA assessment surveys
Electromagnetic surveys
Soil resistivity
Environmental surveys
GPS surveys and reference

RISK ASSESSMENT
EN Engineering recognizes that risk assessments vary in scope and complexity. Whether an assessment is made using your risk models or EN Engineering's risk models, EN Engineering is there to provide support, analysis and-most importantly-experienced subject matter experts.

PIPELINE INTEGRITY PLANS AND PROGRAMS
The EN Engineering team maintains the background and experience necessary to address the challenges associated with the development and maintenance of a pipeline system. This expertise is used to develop programs designed to meet the performance-based regulatory requirements imposed by federal and state pipeline safety regulations. From training to record keeping, from emergency response to compliance assurance programs, from program review to system audit, EN Engineering is prepared to support your needs.

DESIGN / MANAGEMENT FOR REPAIRS OR MODIFICATIONS
EN Engineering provides a full range of engineering and operational support services to the pipeline industry. Our project managers, engineers and support staff maintain the expertise and experience to fully meet your needs.
