Inspection & Maintenance Services for Jurisdictional Propane Systems  (OPS)

SERVICES FOR OPERATORS OF PROPANE SYSTEMS (OPS)

Regular inspection and maintenance of your jurisdictional LP/propane gas distribution system is of paramount importance to ensure safe, continuous operation—and maintain compliance with current codes and regulations.

In addition to risking the possibility of costly gas leaks, service interruption, and potential catastrophic accidents, LP gas operators who fail to comply with regulations may be subject to civil penalties, compliance orders or both. Indeed, any significant issues discovered by federal or state inspectors during review of your system may lead to a “Hazardous Facility Order”, which can result in complete shutdown of your system and costly fines.

TransTech Energy’s LP distribution system maintenance and inspection programs help you avoid shutdown and maintain safe, reliable operations by preventing issues before they happen.

What defines a Jurisdictional LP-Gas system?

An LP system falls under *both the jurisdiction of U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Pipeline Safety Regulations, Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 192 and NFPA 58—and is defined as ‘jurisdictional’—when one of the following conditions exists:

  • Any location where 10 or more customers are supplied from a single tank or from multiple tanks that have been manifolded together—regardless of location
  • Any time a portion of an LP system is located in a public place—and two or more customers are supplied from a single tank or from multiple tanks manifolded together

*DOT Pipeline Regulations were revised in 1996 to state that in cases where both NFPA 58 and DOT Pipeline Regulations apply, NFPA 58 supersedes Pipeline regulations
