TRC | 2017 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT PIPELINES – A focus on Data Quality and Stakeholder Engagement Energy pipelines are critical lifelines supplying communities across America with the transportation fuels and industrial and home energy needed for mobility, basic comfort and industrial production. The industry has unique complexities and challenges, with shifting regulatory policies, demanding licensing and permitting requirements, and increased public involvement – all in an extremely competitive business environment. Proactive stakeholder engagement coupled with readily accessible and credible data in the routing, permitting and constructing process is critical to project success. Aging infrastructure coupled with low probability but high consequence accidents also drives the need for real time access to critical integrity data. We provide innovative, effective engineering and regulatory solutions to reduce risk for pipeline operators across North America through: ■ ■ Innovative GIS tools to drive optimal routing and efficient execution; produce reliable, traceable, verifiable and complete data solutions; and improve access to sensitive data in support of pipeline safety, integrity and regulatory compliance. ■ ■ Stakeholder engagement strategies that incorporate diverse perspectives to better manage risk, communicate environmental, social and economic benefits, and streamline project approvals. ■ ■ Biological and cultural resources management to help address local community issues and secure project approvals and regulatory compliance. ■ ■ Emergency response and remediation to assess and mitigate risk of environmental impact and bring sites to closure. TRC’S INSITE PRO™ AND INTEGRA LINK™ SOLUTIONS WORK TOGETHER TO GENERATE AND CONNECT ENVIRONMENTAL, LAND, CONSTRUCTION AND ENGINEERING DATA THAT PROVIDE STAKEHOLDERS THE INSIGHT NEEDED TO DEVELOP, OPERATE AND MAINTAIN CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SAFELY, ACCURATELY AND EFFICIENTLY. 16
