Our Panel

The Utilities Technical Panel is made up of a group of Pipeline Industry experts with experience in the manufacture, operation, maintenance, design, construction, commissioning, decommissioning and health, safety, security and environmental aspects of utility pipeline engineering. Its members include practitioners, managers, suppliers and consultants. We meet quarterly and discuss areas of concern including technical standards, new technologies, the future direction of the industry.  Our meetings are usually  held at the premises of one of the panel members and where appropriate include a visit to workshops or site.  We aim to have a guest speaker at every meeting to present on technical achievements or challenges within the industry.
