Case Study: National Transportation Safety Board achieves RP 1173-aligned pipeline safety improvements with DevonWay
A DevonWay Case Study
Achieving compliance enables continuous improvement in safety performance
The National Transportation Safety Board backed API RP 1173 after the 2010 Marshall pipeline rupture to drive industry adoption of a robust Pipeline Safety Management System (SMS). The challenge was helping pipeline operators translate RP 1173 requirements into practice—understanding current SMS maturity, identifying gaps, and establishing ongoing risk assessment, audits, KPI tracking, training, and records management. DevonWay provided an agile platform (DevonWay Quality Management software) to support that work.
DevonWay implemented its Quality Management software to consolidate audits and assessments, corrective and preventive actions, document control, inspections, equipment calibrations, and risk tracking into a single automated SMS platform aligned with RP 1173. The solution gave operators centralized oversight, faster corrective actions, improved regulatory readiness and KPI monitoring, and—according to DevonWay—often delivers an ROI in under a year while materially improving safety, reliability, and compliance.
