nybody have any experiencde dealing with this from what i can find itsa federal regulation that govedrns the
safe transportaion of natural gas via pipeline. my question is can the owners agent bypass alll the required forms
for a strendth test on a transmission lne. there is suppose to be a DTS form fillled out and submitted prkior tol testn
to ensure the right pressures eill be used, outside vendor overseeing project says he doesnot have to supply
any otter pertinateto just use the numbers he has sent in a email no formuka brealdown simply test to 1150 for 8 hrs'

Do you communicate with your peers, supervisors and clients in this jibberish?

You would be surprised by how many inspectors I have seen write like that.

Oh I would not be supprised at all. This is becoming common with email responses All inspectors should be able to express themselves clearly and concisely. And not in text shorthand or gibberish.

IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU COULD AT LEAST TRY AND ANSWER THE QUESTION INSTEAD
OF INSULTING SOMEONE FOR HAVEING A KEYBOARD THAT MISSPELLS. OH ITS NOT A
D1.1 QUESTION I KNOW ITS HARD FOR YOU TO THINK OUTSIDE YOUR COMFORT
ZONE AND I DO A QUITE WELL AS AN INSPECTOR. I GUESS I'LL TRY ELSEWHERE
TO GET THE INFO grow up!!!!!!

Hi WELDICCAWSCWI,
I'm not too familiar with 49 CFR 192 ‘Transportation of Natural and Other Gas by Pipeline: Minimum Federal Safety Standards’ but it would appear that the answer to your question could be found in this link:

http://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/49/192

In particular, subpart I.

It is a pity you didn't have a more lenient response given your countries poor record with safety on these types of transmission lines. Who knows who’s living next door to one of these lines?
Hope this helps.
