Have you attended an RCP DOT Compliance workshop recently? We are considering modifying the format of the workshop to prevent duplication of material and to provide more time for special topics. Gas and liquid regulations for each topic would be covered at the same time. For example, pressure testing regulations for gas and liquid pipelines would be discussed on the same day at the same time. Topics such as Operator Qualification and Public Awareness would be discussed once, rather than on both Day 1 and Day 3. However, during a combined workshop, some time will be spent discussing issues that only pertain to gas (or to liquid) operators, which may waste time for operators of only one type of pipeline.

The new format might replace the existing format or we could alternate old and new formats throughout the year.
