Lowell McAllister is a Senior Project Engineer in C-FER’s Integrity Management & Structures department.

His expertise includes quantitative risk assessment, data analytics, and structural modeling for pipeline integrity applications, including for emerging fuel applications (such as hydrogen and carbon dioxide pipelines).

He has led and contributed to many projects related to pipeline integrity and risk management, including risk model and software development, quantitative risk assessments, and risk-based standards development. He has managed and contributed to several collaborative industry projects (eg, through the Pipeline Research Council International and C-FER-lead JIPs), resulting in the development of guidelines for the application of machine learning, a research roadmap for pipeline risk management, and improvements to the CSA Z662 standard.

His work has been featured in papers, presentations, and tutorials delivered at the International Pipeline Conference, International Pipeline Risk Management Forum, Banff Pipeline Workshop, Pipeline Research Council International (PRCI) Research Exchange, Canadian Hydrogen Convention, and PHMSA Risk Modeling Public Workshop. Currently, he is a member of the CSA Z662 Risk & Reliability Technical Sub-committee.

When Lowell isn’t at work, he enjoys spending time with his young children (and annoying his wife with an unseemly quantity of puns and “dad jokes”).
