PACP Certification for NASSCO Member Contractors
Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP™) is a course that helps contractors perform condition coding of pipelines, laterals, and manholes. The course assures consistency on each job based on current industry standards.
The training allows pipeline system owners to create and manage databases for their pipeline assets, an essential element of tracking the function of the structures and planning their future functions. The training assures that standards for identifying, planning, prioritizing, managing, and renovating pertain to condition evaluation. NASSCO provides this intensive training for all members.
