Pipeline Operator Qualification (POQ)

Training

Meeting the tremendous changes facing the pipeline industry today—growing competition and increased emphasis on regulatory compliance—requires that each company's workforce have superior skills, state-of-the-art training and access to technology.

GP offers a logical solution to Operator Qualification (OQ) using a "flexible" two-phased approach that includes an up-front Operator Qualification Assessment (OQA). This approach allows significant subdivision of elements, utilization of existing resources, and incorporation of information from various sources.

Pipeline operator qualification services include:

  • OQ program planning and task list analysis
  • Validation of existing training and record-keeping programs
  • Training program design and implementation
  • Qualification and testing program
  • OQ record-keeping solutions
  • Operations and maintenance procedures
  • SCADA user manuals
  • Abnormal operations and disaster response planning
  • Engineering, fitness for service, and reliability improvement
