Introducing the Revised Facility Integrity Management Plan (FIMP) Guideline

A refreshed guideline advancing pipeline integrity and aligning with the CSA Z662 update.

, ,

ECC is pleased to introduce the revised Facility Integrity Management Plan (FIMP) guideline for the benefit of Canada’s pipeline industry. This guideline builds upon one that CEPA produced in May 2013 and will be referenced in the upcoming revision of CSA Z662.

The objective of the FIMP is to provide Operating Companies with a formalized mechanism to maintain the integrity of managed assets, consistent with the goal of protecting the health and safety of the general public, employees, and the environment. The guideline is intended to allow flexibility in the development of a FIMP and to remain relevant to the Operating Company’s context while identifying leading practices in the area.

This revised FIMP was developed via a committee including colleagues at:

  • Enbridge Pipelines Inc.

  • TC Energy

  • Trans Mountain Corporation

  • Trans-Northern Pipeline Inc.

We thank them for their contribution and dedication to developing this revised guideline.
