Preparing a Vision

Statement

Vision is a mental image of a

possible and desirable future state ofthe utility.


7/12

Preparing a Vision

Statement

A Vision Statement evolves out of answers to questions like

If we could invent the future, what future would we invent for the utility?

What do we have a burning passion about that we would like to be able toexpress through our work?

What could be the distinctive role or contribution of the utility in our District

Area?What is our collective agenda? What do we want to prove?

What is our destiny?

Preparing a Mission

Statement

The Mission Statement is a short, clear statement describing the utilitys

purpose, values. It should be a succinct representation of the utility's purpose forexistence. It should incorporate socially meaningful and measurable criteria

addressing concepts such as the moral/ethical position of the utility, public

image, services provided, the target market, the geographic domain and

expectations of growth. Ultimately, this serves as the guiding principle for all

goals and plans of the utility.

Preparing a Mission

Statement

Generally, a Mission Statement includes:

Purpose of the utility in terms of the scope of its operations;

Priorities for the utilitysfuture performance; and

Values of the utility in the provision of its services.


10/12

Preparing a Mission

StatementIn developing a mission statement, the management staff of the utility should consider thefollowing questions:

What do we do as a Utility?

Why does the Utility exist?What is the ultimate result of our work?

What are our priorities?

What do we value?

What is the Utilitysvision?Should we include a standard of performance?

Should we include a customer statement?

What kind of internal work environment do we want for our employees?

PLAN

The design and

construction of a pipelinefor the most part occurs inthree stages. During the

pre-construction phase,highly trained engineers

work to design a system

that meets the needs of

producers and shippers inmoving their product to

the marketplace. At thesame time, pipeline

employees who specializein planning work minimize

the impact of construction

projects on theenvironment, in additionto consulting with

communities andlandowners along the

route about the project.Every pipeline projectplanning team must meet

federal and state

requirements, obtainnecessary permits and

respond to local concerns.Land or Right-of-way

agents, hired by the

pipeline operator, alsowork with potential

landowners to secureeasement rights to placethe pipeline along the

selected route.

Typically, the actual

construction phase of aproject occurs in theshortest amount of time.

But the constructionphase can only begin after

route selection, easement

negotiations,environmental permitting,

and many other pre-

construction actions havebeen accomplished.

Before the line pipe canbe buried, the pipelineright-of-way must be

cleared and prepared forconstruction. Once ready,the pipeline is carefully

placed in the pre-dugtrench or bored under

waterways or roads. Iftrenching is involved, thetrench is filled and post-

construction restorationbegins.

The post-constructionphase of any projectaddresses several aspects

including restoring thesurface of the land

affected by the trenching.Work then begins toreconstruct the surface of

the land. Before the

pipeline is placed intoservice, the pipe andcomponents are again

tested in the field with awater pressure, weld x-

rays and a variety of otherinspection tests. Eachstage of this process is

overseen by qualifiedinspectors to ensure

compliance with theengineering plan, codes,permit conditions,

landowner and easement

agreements, andregulatory requirements.

While this overview givesyou a general idea aboutpipeline construction,

there are many importantsteps along the way. To

get a betterunderstanding of theconstruction process, we

invite you to take a closerlook at the process and

the many people that

make it all happen.
