DISTRIBUTION

Distribution operations depend on a qualified workforce.

From service technicians in the field to contractors managing thousands of covered tasks across their system, EWN helps local distribution companies manage qualification programs that scale with their workforce.

State PUC. Federal OQ. One program that handles both.

Distribution operators manage one of the most task-dense OQ environments in the industry. 49 CFR Part 192 governs covered task qualification for gas distribution, and ASME B31Q defines the competency framework your evaluators and program administrators must follow. With large field workforces, frequent task updates, and state PUC oversight layered on top of federal requirements, distribution operators need a platform that handles complexity without creating it.

Thousands of technicians. Hundreds of covered tasks. One compliance standard.

For local distribution companies, OQ isn't a niche compliance issue, but a daily operational requirement. Every service call, leak survey, and pressure test involves covered tasks that require documented qualification. At scale, managing covered tasks manually is not only inefficient but unsustainable.


  • Large field workforces turn over regularly; keeping qualification records current is a constant burden
  • New task types emerge as infrastructure evolves; updating qualification requirements takes time
  • Tasks, like leak survey qualification, require computer-based training (CBT) and field evaluation, making tracking both complex
  • State PUC audits are increasingly rigorous, and paper-based programs don't hold up to scrutiny

Built for the scale and complexity of distribution operations.

EWN's platform was built in the distribution industry. From service technicians doing leak surveys to evaluators conducting field assessments, every step of your OQ process is supported, tracked, and audit-ready.

Workforce-Scale Qualification Tracking

Manage qualification records for hundreds or thousands of workers from one platform. EWN tracks every CBT completion, every field evaluation, every qualification renewal, and alerts your team before expirations create coverage gaps.

Leak Survey and Task-Specific Content

EWN's content library includes CBTs and performance evaluations purpose-built for distribution tasks: leak survey, service installation, pressure testing, meter operations, and more. All aligned to 49 CFR 192 and ASME B31Q standards.

Evaluator Management and Quality Control

Track qualified evaluators across your program, assign evaluations, and monitor completion rates and outcomes by technician, region, and task type. When your evaluator pool needs updating, you'll see it before it's a problem.

Your distribution network runs on qualified workers.

Let's show you how EWN makes OQ management faster, cleaner, and audit-ready.
