Case Study: Midwest Energy Company improves pipeline safety awareness with The Dieringer Research Group, Inc.

Midwest Energy Company passes state audits with The Dieringer Research Group after 4-year pipeline safety study

A large Midwest energy company, operating multiple utility pipelines, needed to comply with federal regulations requiring them to measure the effectiveness of their public safety awareness campaign every four years. In preparation for an upcoming state audit, they contacted The Dieringer Research Group, Inc (The DRG) to conduct a study identifying where their program was successful and where it was falling short in communicating safety information to the public, officials, and excavators.

The Dieringer Research Group, Inc partnered with the energy company to design and execute a comprehensive pipeline safety campaign effectiveness study. The solution involved extensive consultation on sampling and survey design to target audiences near exact pipeline locations. The DRG provided a detailed analysis, custom executive summaries, and reporting dashboards. This enabled the energy company to pass their state audit, identify areas of concern, and improve the effectiveness of their safety communications.
