Choose the right perspective
Match the person's pipe to yours, since large diameter transmission lines, gathering systems and utility distribution replacement work call for different crews, permits and inspection. Also decide whether you need someone who has run construction in the field or someone who has led a whole construction or major projects organization, and pick a person whose roles fit that level.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you choose and manage construction contractors and inspectors on a pipeline project?
- 02What do you check before construction starts to avoid surprises with permits, right of way and materials?
- 03How do you track cost, schedule and safety on a pipeline job, and when do you step in?
