Pipelines are the safest, most environmentally friendly way to move refined petroleum products to their final destination. MIPC is committed to implementing a Pipeline Safety Management System to systematically manage and continuously improve all aspects of pipeline safety. We monitor our pipelines 24/7/365 and regularly clean and inspect them, and our General Manager oversees operations to ensure that we are in compliance with all applicable regulations. As a result, we are proud to say that our safety record remains in the top tier in our industry. Our goal is to maintain zero incidents.
We go the extra mile to maintain the safety and integrity of our pipelines:
- We monitor the system 24 hours a day
- Our crews patrol and inspect the pipelines three times a month
- We oversee a third-party smart PIG (pipeline inspection gauge) inspection every five years to identify any signs of corrosion or weakness. Think of this as an MRI of the pipeline.
- We regularly send cleaning pigs through the lines
- We belong to several industry safety organizations, including:
- We have an Emergency Spill Response Plan that we share with local emergency responders
What you can do to increase safety:
- Call 811 before digging near a pipeline right of way
