POG Incident Database

The POG Incident Database is hosted on another server. It is accessible via a link below.

This database will be used to record all near misses and incidents of pipelines designed and constructed in accordance with the scope of AS 2885.1 (and superseded Standards) and operated and maintained in accordance with AS 2885.3.

A near miss is a non-authorised third party activity which does not damage the pipeline including:

1. AS 2885.3 Clause 7.5.3(b) – Land disturbance activities deeper than 300mm, such as deep ripping and the installation of drainage systems on the pipeline easement, or where no easement exists, a minimum of 3 metres (but preferably 6 metres) each side of the pipeline.  This would include excavation, auguring and boring activities.

2. Seismic and use of explosives in the vicinity of the pipeline. See AS 2885.3 Clauses 7..5.3(c) and 7.5.8.

An incident is:

1. Any damage to the coating or pipe caused by mechanical equipment or any other means.

2. Any defect which causes the MAOP to be de-rated, where gas leaks (not including minor leaks at flanges), where mechanical reinforcement (e.g. reinforcing sleeves or clock spring etc.) is required to repair the defect OR where a section of pipe is cut out and replaced.
