我省出台燃气管道设施保护办法 为燃气管道装上“智慧大脑”

Core Viewpoint - The newly issued "Shandong Province Gas Pipeline Facility Protection Measures" aims to establish a safety protection system for gas pipeline facilities, emphasizing government regulation, corporate responsibility, and social governance, effective from March 1 this year [1][2]. Group 1: Regulatory Framework - The regulation consists of 5 chapters and 33 articles, designating gas pipeline operating companies as the primary responsible entities for the protection and safe operation of pipeline facilities, which includes responsibilities for inspection, hazard prevention, and emergency response [1]. - The regulation addresses the increasing risks associated with third-party construction activities and inadequate protection responsibilities, which have become major risk points for gas safety incidents due to rapid urbanization and construction activities [1]. Group 2: Technological and Management Innovations - The regulation mandates the establishment of a provincial gas pipeline information supervision platform, allowing gas pipeline operating companies to upload real-time data on pipeline routes, depths, and materials, facilitating pre-construction checks for construction units [2]. - Two "technical insurance locks" are introduced: the first requires construction units to conduct exploratory excavation to confirm the depth and direction of gas pipelines before any ground disturbance, while the second mandates immediate notification to gas pipeline companies for any design changes that may affect pipeline safety [2].
