In-House Registration

The most common self-registration method is the default 1/4 section method. With this method, in order to register yourself with Alberta One-Call, you will need to provide a listing of all the quarter sections containing your pipelines.

There are several problems with this method:

• Difficult to gather and collate the information
• Lack of centralized records
• Acquisitions and mergers add confusion
• Extremely time-consuming
• This method may not be as accurate as the GreenPipe method(see diagram)

The above diagram shows the limitations of providing only a list of 1/4 sections that contain your pipelines.

• A dig location may be only meters away from a pipeline and not lead to a dig notification thereby exposing the pipeline to risk of a hit. (refer to the triangle in the diagram)
• A dig location may be on the opposite side of a quarter section, where the pipeline is not at risk, but the operator would still receive a call. This can lead to greatly increased costs especially in an urban setting.
