Our work is outlined by a collaborative General Committee who share a commitment to linear infrastructure safety and community awareness.
In addition to the General Committee, we also have a number of specialty groups with identified priorities. These include:
Urban Pipeline Awareness Committee
The Urban Pipeline Awareness Committee is comprised of pipeline companies that operate high vapor pressure (HVP) lines in highly populated areas around the Edmonton region (Edmonton, Sherwood Park, Fort Saskatchewan, Spruce Grove, St. Albert, Stony Plain, Leduc and Devon). UPAC is responsible for:
- promoting pipeline public awareness;
- coordinating pipeline safety outreach initiatives and messaging to reach priority stakeholders, such as first responders, digging community, land developers and utility companies;
- documenting improvement opportunities identified through outreach activities;
- reporting and communicating back to the Board any areas of concern for stakeholders, and/or improvement opportunities.
Community Awareness Committee
The Community Awareness Committee is chaired by the current Vice Chair of EAPUOC. This Committee is responsible for:
- improving industry and public awareness of the presence of underground and overhead facilities;
- promotion and education of safe work practices around buried pipelines and cables within industry the digging community (ie. homeowners, contractors);
- attracting new Members;
- managing requests for Gronk appearances; and
- engaging with organizations of similar interests.
