This document outlines inspection, testing, and repair responsibilities for various pipeline integrity activities. It assigns the following roles:
- A corrosion specialist identifies potential damage mechanisms and locations. Inspectors perform internal inspections and removal of internal linings and deposits.
- Engineers assess risks, authorize tests like pressure and part pressure tests, review inspections exceeding 10 years, and approve repairs like weld repairs and crack repairs.
- Inspectors establish inspection intervals, can defer inspections up to 6 months, authorize repair work, and pre-approve repairs when pressure testing isn't required. Inspectors also perform external inspections and thickness measurements.
- Engineers and inspectors work together on activities like NDE
