United Kingdom Onshore Pipeline Operators’ Association

Welcome to UKOPA

UKOPA is a membership organisation made up of pipeline operators that are responsible for the safe operation and maintenance of a network of pipelines that spans over 27,000 km of pipelines in the UK.

These pipelines deliver the fuels that heats our homes, power our stations, run vehicles and aircraft, and transports essential chemicals for use in everyday products. Safely maintaining the integrity of this infrastructure is crucial to the UK economy.

In order to ensure pipelines are operated and managed in the safest possible way, UKOPA working groups develop guidance and advice that can be used by individuals and organisations who may be affected by, need to work on or near, or who have pipelines running through land they may be working in, own or tenant.
