Midstream pipeline, terminal, and storage facilities need corporate standards built for their operations. Equity’s Logistics Engineering Practices (LEPs) deliver pipeline engineering standards aligned with ASME B31.3, B31.4, and B31.8 alongside PHMSA, OSHA, and NFPA requirements. Available through the Equity Engineering Practices® platform, the LEPs satisfy Process Safety Management (PSM) requirements and incorporate RAGAGEP across piping, rotating equipment, storage tanks, and pipeline design disciplines.
Corporate Standards for Midstream Operations
The Logistics Engineering Practices (LEPs) are corporate standards uniquely focused on midstream facilities. Available through the Equity Engineering Practices® (EEPs) platform, the LEPs deliver a tailored, compliance-ready solution for pipeline, terminal, and midstream operations.
The LEPs are aligned with ASME B31.3, B31.4, and B31.8 as well as applicable regulatory requirements from USA Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA), and National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA).
Whether your company operates midstream-only facilities or manages both midstream and downstream assets, the LEPs can be tailored to your specific operational requirements. Your team can start using focused and relevant standards collection from day one.
