Growing Our Network to Meet Your Fuel Needs
We’re adding the pipeline and terminal infrastructure to supply the high-growth refined products markets of Central Texas and the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Pipeline Public Awareness Program
Being a good operator also means being a good neighbor.
Our goal is to educate the public, emergency responders and other key stakeholders about the pipelines Valero owns or operates in their communities. We also send out information on an annual basis to residences and businesses near our pipelines. This improved awareness reduces the likelihood of an emergency, and also helps reduce the impact if there is an emergency or fuel leak.
Pipeline 101: Learn about pipelines and how they operate
Pipeline Safety
Valero maintains a strong commitment to safety, and measures our success by the health and safety of our neighbors, employees, and environment. In addition, we regularly provide training to our emergency response community.
The following resources provide information about pipeline safety in your communities:
Pipeline Markers
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) requires the use of markers to indicate the approximate location of pipelines. The markers display:
- Material transported on the pipeline
- The name of the pipeline operator
- A telephone number where an operator can be reached in the event of an emergency
Markers do NOT indicate the exact location or the depth of the pipeline.
Before You Dig (United States)
Before you dig or engage in any excavation, construction, or farming activity, call your state's One-Call Center. Minor excavation activities can cause damage to a pipeline, its protective coating and/or buried utility lines. Play it safe and learn more here:
Pipeline Right-of-Way Encroachment
We take your safety seriously. Encroachments upon the pipeline right-of-way inhibit Valero's ability to provide right-of-way surveillance, to perform routine maintenance and required state/federal inspections. In order to perform these critical activities, Valero personnel must have safe and easy access to all pipeline right-of-ways.
