PACP (Pipeline Assessment Certification Program) is the North American standard for pipeline defect identification and assessment, providing standardization and consistency to the methods in which pipeline conditions are identified, evaluated, and managed. The goal of PACP is to have pipeline system owners create a comprehensive database to properly identify, plan, prioritize, manage, and renovate their pipelines based on condition evaluation. Developed in partnership with the Water Research Center (WRC), PACP is the North American adaptation of the United Kingdom’s TV inspection coding system developed by the WRC. This coding system is the recognized standard in the United Kingdom and much of Europe and Asia.

This 3-day training and certification programs teaches students to properly identify defects and other conditions in pipelines, laterals, and manholes. Using standardized NASSCO codes, the student will also gain knowledge on how to properly rate severity of defects, playing an important role in helping system owners prioritize repairs and manage their assets. There is an end of course subject-matter exam, for each program (PACP | LACP | MACP), that must be passed with a minimum score 85%. This class is also open to those wishing to recertify. For trainees that are seeking continuing education hours for this training course, successful trainees will gain 2.5 CEU hours.
