Control Room Management (CRM) Consulting

OUR SOLUTIONS

Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) regulations
require pipeline operators to have and follow written control room
management (CRM) procedures for those pipelines that have controllers
monitoring and controlling regulated pipeline facilities using supervisory
control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. These CRM plans include
requirements for operations, fatigue management, alarm management, change
management, training, and extensive record keeping.

EN Engineering’s team of professionals has extensive experience in Control
Room Management compliance. We are well-versed in current and pending
regulations and have executed both broad and focused projects on CRM
compliance.

Current projects include development of a consolidated alarm management plan
to be used across multiple control rooms, post-audit remediation support,
and CRM team training development and execution to both gas and liquid
controllers.
