Requirements on Third Parties working near the P&FM Pipeline
Pre-work Consultation with P&FM pipeline licensee
The works owner or contractor must inform P&FM pipeline licensee in advance of their intention to work within the vicinity of the pipeline.

Precautionary Measures during Works
The works owner and contractor must take all necessary precautions to prevent any damages to the P&FM pipelines during the construction stage. They must inform licensee before carrying out any excavation works near the pipeline. It is important to report all damages to the pipeline and its coating to licensee. Repair must be done immediately to prevent corrosion aggravation to the pipeline at the damage location and thus becoming a potential hazard.
For major works that span over a long period of time, the owner and contractor must hold monthly meetings to update licensee on the progress and any changes to their works.
For any new development surrounding the P&FM pipelines, the developer must inform the property owner on the location of the pipeline within their premises and draw up measures to prevent any possible damage to it. Pipeline within a fenced compound must be accessible to licensee for patrolling and any maintenance works as and when required.
