British Pipeline Agency Ltd., which specializes in the engineering and operation of liquid petroleum pipelines, is the managing agency for the pipeline system owned by United Kingdom Pipeline Ltd. The Thames-Mersey pipeline system carries refined products from refineries on the Thames and Mersey to distribution terminals across England. This paper reports that BPA recently successfully completed a major project on behalf of UKOP to replace the existing pipeline control system. This major project was completed and fully operational within budget and on time. One major reason for the success was the high degree of integration achieved by the project teams from BPA and SD-Scicon the major supplier, throughout the project.
