Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is the U.S. federal agency responsible for regulating the safety and security of pipelines. While PHMSA regulations primarily focus on the use of technology-based leak detection systems, they also acknowledge the potential effectiveness of alternative methods, including K9 pipeline leak detection, as part of an operator’s overall leak detection program. 

K9 pipeline leak detection can comply with PHMSA regulations Performance- Based Approach.  PHMSA regulations adopt a performance-based approach, which means that pipeline operators have flexibility in selecting leak detection methods as long as they meet the required performance criteria. K9 pipeline leak detection can be considered as an alternative method that demonstrates an equivalent level of performance in leak detection when compared to the requirements set by PHMSA.
