Pipeline Operations/Damage Prevention
06.2017 - 11.2019

Job overview

  • Natural Gas Pipeline Operations (DOT)
  • Compressor Station Operations.
  • Damage Prevention group included the following: Managing 811 Okie "One Calls" involving my company's assets. From this point on it was my group's responsibility to verify the one call was correct and if I had assets within the specified dig site I had to locate my facilities using a Vivax Line Locating machine, correctly to within 2' on either side of the pipeline, and properly mark the facilities within the proposed dig site. If there is a proposed encroachment on my facilities, I then contacted the contractor and would establish a connection with their lead worker and remain in constant communication about my company's requirements and see that all rules and policies are followed to the letter, in order to prevent any damage from occuring to my company's facilities. I would be a constant presence until the job was completed including the paperwork and verification process. Sometimes angry landowners or even contractors looking for shortcuts would create a stressful situation but I seem to have a way of helping diffuse those situations.
