ESVConnect
ESVConnect goes live
By Sarah Sanderson,
Knowledge Manager
ESV is proud to launch ESVConnect our
new platform for online services, and
its first workflow – the registration of
cathodic protection.
ESVConnect will host all of ESV’s online
systems where stakeholders and customers,
interact with us. This will include registration
of electrical contractors (RECs), electrical
licensing and purchasing Certificates of
Electrical Safety (COES).
The launch of ESVConnect is the culmination
of many hours of effort by ESV people, to design
and develop efficient and future-capable systems
and processes.
In his address at the launch of ESVConnect,
general manager of Gas and Pipeline Safety and
Technical Regulation, Steve Cronin, highlighted
the importance of ESV delivering technology
improvements to our stakeholders.
“It is an essential aspect of our role as the
gas and electricity safety regulator to provide
increasingly more efficient services to our
stakeholders,” he said.
“ESVConnect will help us to minimise the
administrative burden experienced by our
stakeholders; an ongoing commitment
ESV has made.”
For owners and operators of cathodic
protection systems, Registration of Cathodic
Protection Systems via ESVConnect improves
the way registrations are lodged. All registrations
for cathodic protection systems can now be
submitted and managed online via ESVConnect.
The new system delivers a step-by-step
process where the requirements are clear and
all users will have a consistent experience of
lodgement, assessment and approval.
ESV’s manager for Electrolysis Mitigation,
Peter Wade, said there were benefits for both
owners and operators of the new system.
“Our new online cathodic protection
registration process is transparent allowing users
to track their registrations at every step,” he said.
“Owners and operators of cathodic protection
systems will be able to manage their systems,
ensuring compliance with regulatory obligations,
from the convenience of their mobile device
