TVC (Traceable, Verifiable, and Complete) Compliance 🔎
Impact
● Foundation of integrity → Verified history proves pipeline safety (risk management)
● Prevents failures, ensures regulatory trust, supports public safety (compliance impact)Approach
● Pulled material test reports, pressure test records, and as-builts (archival research)
● Cross-referenced against Title 49 CFR Part 192 §192.607 (regulatory expertise)
● Applied database systems + code mapping to find gaps and confirm compliance (data analytics)Challenges & Resilience
● Detective-style research → pieced together incomplete, scattered records (problem solving)
● Persistence under high scrutiny; collaboration across departments (resilience & teamwork)
● Built a continuous compliance story regulators could trust (impact communication)Outcome
● Reconstructed the historical DNA of pipelines
● Created a ready to use roadmap & framework for TVC documentation
Risk Modelling 📊
Impact
● Converts fragmented pipeline data into quantified risk insights (data-driven decision making)
● Enables utilities to prioritize capital investments and extend asset life (strategic planning)
● Supports 5-year assessment plans, reducing operational and financial risks (long-term forecasting)Approach
● Designed models around consequence factors and likelihood of failure factors. (statistical modelling | risk frameworks)
● Used Python & SQL to clean, aggregate, and transform large operational datasets (data engineering & automation).
● Built GIS-powered heat maps to visualize risks geographically and highlight hotspots (geospatial analytics).Challenges & Resilience
● Iteratively refined scoring logic until results were intuitive, consistent, and actionable — supported by a modular structure where factors, weights, and thresholds could be easily updated (flexible & sustainable modelling)
● Created an adaptive model framework that evolves with new inspection and operational data (scalable innovation).
● Resolved data mismatches and created a common reference framework for analysis. (systems integration | accuracy)Outcome
● Produced risk scores + spatial heat maps to guide planning and resource allocation.
● Developed Preventive & Mitigative (P&M) measures directly tied to risk scores, ensuring resources targeted the highest-risk segments.
● Empowered leadership with clear, visual analytics for capital and integrity planning.
Ongoing Reassessment ♻️
Impact
● Pipelines age, environments change — ongoing reassessments help teams stay ahead of risks (continuous integrity | risk awareness)
● Reduces operational surprises and improves community safety (public safety | reliability mindset)Approach
● Collaborated with vendors & field operators for scheduling, execution, and data collection (coordination | project management)
● Verified inspection results against federal codes & company standards (code interpretation | quality assurance)
● Coordinated with team on multiple reassessment techniques:
External Corrosion Direct Assessment, In-Line Inspection, Hydrostatic Pressure Testing, Magnetic Particle Testing, Class Location Studies (technical coordination)Challenges & Resilience
● Balanced technical analysis + project management across the team (multidisciplinary teamwork | leadership)
● Maintained accountability with vendors through joint oversight (vendor management | communication)
● Established a cycle of continuous monitoring instead of one-time checks (process improvement | sustainability)Outcome
● Delivered a repeatable reassessment program aligned with regulatory timelines
● Built collective confidence by turning inspection data into team-backed decisions
Audit Preparedness 📑
When the regulator knocks, readiness speaks louder than words.
Impact
● Audits test the strength of the whole integrity program (regulatory readiness | credibility)
● Passing builds trust with regulators and leadership ( stakeholder management | leadership)Approach
● Teams pulled records and rehearsed responses together (collaboration | preparation)
● Built an evidence library for quick, consistent answers (organization | knowledge management)Challenges & Resilience
● Worked under pressure while sharing ownership as a team (teamwork | time management)
● Turned auditor feedback into stronger processes (resilience | continuous improvement)Outcome
● Cleared PHMSA & GRIT audits with confidence.
● Left behind a repeatable playbook for future audits.
