Welcome to EPRG
The European Pipeline Research Group (EPRG) is a registered association of European pipe manufacturers and gas transmission companies.
We address issues of common interest concerning the technical integrity of gas transmission pipelines, in the areas of pipe manufacture, pipeline design, construction, operation and maintenance.
We publish research results, recommendations and guidelines in journals and at conferences, enabling the findings to be made available to the wider pipeline industry.
Much of our work is incorporated in national and international standards for pipeline design, construction and operation.
18th JTM in San Francisco
The 18th Joint Technical Meeting on pipeline research took place in San Francisco in May 2011. More than 170 technical delegates from EPRG, PRCI and APIA-RCS member companies attended. 30 technical papers were presented and 8 workshops were held to develop further collaborative research activities. A special session was held on the transportation of CO2 in the context of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies.
