New Pipeline Regulation Issued in Canada
Canada’s National Energy Board (NEB) has finalized an Order that requires all regulated companies to report any identified pipe or components – received, installed, or in service – that do not meet mechanical properties identified in industry standards or company specifications.
This Order builds on a series of enhanced quality assurance measures taken by the NEB including MO-001-2016, a Safety Advisory, and a technical workshop held in June 2017 with stakeholders representing regulators, industry and manufacturers. The first of its kind in Canada, the technical workshop facilitated open dialogue on quality assurance, from both a technical and safety culture standpoint.
To date, there have been no reported incidents on in-service pipelines regulated by the NEB, where the root-cause has been attributed to pipe or components not meeting industry standards or company specifications for mechanical properties.
