An Integrity Management Program is a written set of policies, processes and procedures that are implemented to ensure the integrity of operating a pipeline safely. See also,
IMP Summary.
Risk Management / Pipeline Integrity
SourceGas is committed to operating its facilities in a safe and reliable manner to protect the public, employees, customers and the environment. Every SourceGas pipeline follows a Pipeline Integrity Management Program to ensure the optimal safety and operation of the pipeline.

Routine Testing, Inspection, Monitoring
We regularly test and inspect our pipelines. This can involve smart pigging, hydrostatic testing, aerial/line patrolling and routine visits by company personnel. Our pipelines are monitored and controlled through sophisticated control centers 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. These control centers, which have duplicate backup systems, continuously monitor the system pressures, flows and customer deliveries, and have the capability to close valves remotely in the unlikely event of a pipeline emergency.
Understanding Pipeline Integrity Terms and Subjects
There is a wealth of terms and subjects that involve pipeline integrity. To aid those who would like to learn more on items such as High Consequence Areas (HCA), Highly Volatile Liquids (HVL), Potential Impact Radius (PIR), Assessment Techniques, Pipeline Failures, Smart Pigging, Pipeline Technology & Systems or Emergency Response, please see
PHMSA Library which is linked here.
Materials Used
We use state of the art materials to help prevent external corrosion such as high-strength micro-alloyed steel coated with fusion-bond epoxy (FBE) which is augmented by a comprehensive cathodic protection system.
