In 2024, TSSA published an updated Code Adoption Document, adopting the national pipelines code. The code covers the design, construction, operation, maintenance, deactivation, and abandonment of oil and gas industry pipeline systems. Additionally, TSSA continues to administer a risk-based Operator Rating System (ORS) for pipeline operators to verify that proper operating and maintenance procedures are being followed to ensure public safety.
