Electric and Natural Gas Safety Audits
Regulatory inspections conducted under PHMSA and state Public Service Commission (PSC) authority require demonstrable compliance across Integrity Management (IM), Operations and Maintenance (O&M), MAOP, and pressure testing requirements. Rowad Energy Consulting provides comprehensive inspection and audit management services to help operators prepare for, navigate, and successfully close out federal and state compliance reviews.
Our team has extensive experience supporting inspections conducted by Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and state Public Service Commission pipeline safety programs. We assist operators with pre-inspection readiness assessments and compliance gap analyses across key regulatory areas, including Integrity Management programs (49 CFR Part 192 Subpart O and Part 195 Subpart F), O&M procedures, MAOP establishment and reconfirmation, and pressure testing and records compliance under Subpart J.
We support audit preparation by reviewing and validating IM documentation, threat identification and risk assessments, baseline and continual assessment records, anomaly evaluation and remediation activities, and performance measure tracking. Our O&M support includes alignment of written procedures with field practices, emergency response coordination, valve and patrol programs, and operator qualification (OQ) interfaces.
During inspections, we manage regulatory communications, coordinate data requests, and support real-time responses to inspector inquiries related to MAOP documentation, pressure test records, class location determinations, special permit conditions, and test factor compliance.
Following inspections, we assist operators with technically defensible responses to Notices of Probable Violation (NOPVs), Notices of Amendment (NOAs), and compliance orders—developing corrective action plans, remediation schedules, and documentation packages that satisfy PHMSA and PSC expectations and reduce enforcement exposure.
Rowad Energy Consulting enables operators to remain focused on safe and reliable pipeline operations while we manage inspection strategy, technical documentation, and regulatory engagement—from initial preparation through final closeout. Our objective is to demonstrate sustainable compliance, reduce regulatory risk, and support long-term system integrity.
