The operator would:
identify and rectify operational problems
monitor station operating parameters
maintain station equipment.
Generally the operator would work on an individual basis and be expected to be capable of performing all parts of this unit, but may be part of a team. At all times they would be liaising and cooperating with other members of the team.
This unit does not require the operation of a central control panel, however, it can be applied to a pipeline control centre if applicable.
AS 2885 Part 3 forms the principle reference standard for this competency.
In a typical scenario, an operator is responsible for the operation and monitoring of pipeline stations and associated equipment within the parameters established. The competence includes examining the station and its equipment for signs of damage and/or need of maintenance, maintaining general cleanliness and reporting against specific requirements. Pipeline stations can include:
maintenance bases
compressor stations
scraper stations
inlet and delivery stations
mainline block valve sites.
