Why Inspect?
• Pre 1996 – prescriptive regime
• Pipelines Safety Regulations 1996
– To apply a common approach
to the control of risks from pipelines, both on and offshore
– To replace existing pipeline safety regimes with a single goal-setting group of regulations reflecting the general policy of the HASAWA 1974
‘‘The operator shall ensure that a pipeline is maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair.”

5 Page 17-Apr-14
Why Inspect?
• Regulation 13 addresses pipeline maintenance and inspection requirements
– “The pipeline operator needs to consider both how and when the pipeline should be surveyed and examined to validate and maintain it is in a safe condition.”

Why Inspect?
• Cost of Failure
– Environmental
– Loss of Production
– Repair / Replacement cost
• It is in operators best interest to maintain and inspect pipelines
