In 1998 in the province of Alberta there were more than 30,000 reported line hits involving gas, electric, water-sewage and fibre optics. How many go unreported? The cost related effects of so many line hits every year are incredible. More important are the many fatalities that have occurred over the past few years taking the lives of workers unnecessarily. Your Ground Disturbance course will take you through the Pipeline Act and Regulations. You will become certified in the supervision of Ground Disturbance activities. Whether you are a backhoe operator, surveyor, environmental engineer or are preparing to build your own deck or fence on your own property, this course will give you the tools and knowledge to safely complete the work and avoid a potential pipeline hit. The course we teach is Global Training Certified assuring full recognition in all industries.
It was developed in consultation with industry stakeholders and the Government. This committee ensure quality control of the program.
