Have
you attended an RCP DOT Compliance workshop recently? We are considering
modifying the format of the workshop to prevent duplication of material and to
provide more time for special topics. Gas and liquid regulations for each topic
would be covered at the same time. For example, pressure testing regulations
for gas and liquid pipelines would be discussed on the same day at the same
time. Topics such as Operator Qualification and Public Awareness would be
discussed once, rather than on both Day 1 and Day 3. However, during a combined
workshop, some time will be spent discussing issues that only pertain to gas
(or to liquid) operators, which may waste time for operators of only one type
of pipeline.
The new format might replace the existing format or we could alternate old and
new formats throughout the year.
If you would like to let us know your thoughts, contact Deb Brunt at dbrunt@rcp.com.
