System Integrity Plan

Magellan is committed to safe, compliant, and efficient design, operations, and maintenance of our assets. Our goals to meet and exceed stakeholder (public, regulators, investors, customers, partners, and employees) expectations are achieved through consistent SIP execution. The American Petroleum Institute (API) published API Recommended Practice 1173 for Pipeline Safety Management Systems, which provides pipeline operators with a framework to reveal and manage risk, promote a learning environment, and continuously improve pipeline safety and integrity.
