Some of America’s most iconic structures have stood the test of time and continue to serve us safely. #Pipelines stand the test of time, just like other essential infrastructure.
When you think of iconic American infrastructure, do you think of #pipelines? You should. Pipelines are some of our most important transportation infrastructure and they serve you every day.
How do #pipelines stay safe over time? Operators monitor their pipes 24/7 and ensure they are maintained in order to address issues before they ever become a problem, just like any other infrastructure.
Engineers, steelworkers, electricians, painters and technicians keep infrastructure operating safely. #Pipelines have their own specially trained technicians that keep them safe over time.
#Pipelines are transportation infrastructure we can maintain and keep operating safely over time.
New technologies are constantly improving #pipeline safety capabilities, ensuring our transportation infrastructure is operating safely for years to come.
Engineers design preventive maintenance plans to address issues long before they become a problem. #PipelineSafety
#Pipeline operators develop customized maintenance plans for each of their pipelines.
Congress regularly updates federal pipeline safety laws. These protections ensure the nation's #pipeline network remains the safest in the world.
The Chair of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board testified to Congress: “If a pipeline is adequately maintained and inspected, age is not an issue.”
Proactive inspections, preventive maintenance and 24/7 monitoring all keep #pipelines operating safely over time.
