Certifications: The Leaning Tree Incident
An operator recently experienced damage to their pipeline when a metal pipeline marker post was driven into the ground by a falling tree – the ‘leaning tree incident’. This is certainly not a common pipeline failure scenario. How much criticism against a risk assessment is warranted if this obscure event is missed? CERTIFICATION With growth in both the number of […]

Certification of Pipeline Risk Estimation Methodologies
How It Works This certification process tests a risk assessment methodology by having it produce risk estimates for three parallel pipelines for which risk-pertinent data is available. A sketch and dataset details some relevant facts for each pipeline. Many, but not all, common pipeline risk issues are illustrated or implied by the data provided. Someone […]

Every RA should have these elements. A specific methodology and detailed processes are intentionally not essential elements, so there is room for creativity and customised solutions. DNV’s recognition of […]
