“ Energy pipelines are critical lifelines supplying communities across America with the transportation fuels and industrial and home energy needed for our mobility, basic comfort, and industrial production. However, due to numerous causes – including aging and low probability but high consequence accidents— these same pipelines are generating demands for greater regulatory safeguards. TRC provides innovative, effective solutions to regulatory challenges for pipeline operators across North America.”
Jeff Wiese, VP and National Practice Leader of Integrity Services
“ Local and state transportation agencies are faced with the challenge of more efficiently moving people and goods, while reducing social and environmental impact. As such, they are looking for ways to measure project value differently, and are embracing transparent reporting to the public. TRC’ s certified sustainability professionals are engaging with agencies on various sustainability rating systems that can be employed throughout the transportation project lifecycle to identify, implement, and communicate benefits to stakeholders.”
Thomas G. Tracy, PE, ENV SP, Vice President
