Corrosion Technician #1005713
Job Description:
If you're looking for a career that will provide a challenging work environment and many opportunities to learn, our company is the place for you.  Join our team and become part of a company full of exciting opportunities. We help employees achieve their personal best by offering many opportunities that develop and enhance their skills for career advancement.
 
Request:

• A contract resource, for a 12-week period, to complete distribution casing data validation between GIS and the Corrosion Database.

 
Reason for Request:

• First half MPSC inspections for external corrosion resulted in multiple findings regarding the monitoring and mitigating of shorted casings.
• After completing a problem solving, we discovered casings in GIS and in the field, but they were not in our Corrosion Database.
• Casings are required to be read annually.
• Reads confirm they are not electrically continuous with their carrier pipe.
• Casings that fall within 10 mV of their carrier pipe voltage are considered “shorted.”
• Without vents or read points, casings cannot be read to verify the reads are within criteria.

 
Project Plan:

• All casings in GIS need to be audited and field verified to ensure all casings are in the Corrosion Database to proceed with code required monitoring.
• We estimate the verification will take approximately 3 months to complete.
• We analyzed the casing query from GIS and discovered we have over 3-thousand casings in GIS, and only 350 in our Corrosion Database.
• We have been diligently working on validating this list of casings from GIS, however, each line item takes 8 minutes to evaluate.

 
For each casing we are required to verify the following:

• The carrier pipe is steel (not always shown in GIS, as material type could be null)
• Ensure the pipe has not been replaced with plastic
• Casing can be present but no further monitoring is required if the pipe has been replaced with plastic
• A test point is on the casing, or a vent is present (can view this check from Google Earth)
• A test point is within 100 feet of the casing.
• To determine if the casing is shorted to carrier pipe
• The casings will also need to be entered into our Corrosion Database and reads will need to be taken in the field to comply with the code required monitoring.

 

• We have completed 267 casings to date and 3000 remain to be completed.
• This is approximately 400 hours of work.
• Therefore, we are requesting a contract resource, for a 12-week period, to complete this compliance required analysis with our oversight and support closing out the casing CAPA.
