The process of defining landslide and subsidence hazards is highly dependent upon the judgments of experienced and knowledgeable specialists in geology and geotechnical engineering. With the heavy reliance on judgment, it is not possible to identify specific processes that constitute generally acceptable approaches. Therefore, much of this document focuses on identifying the variety of available methods that can be used to define landslide and subsidence hazards for pipelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese guidelines are intended to provide recommendations on engineering practices that result in levels of pipeline integrity for geohazards that are commensurate with the severity of the landslide or subsidence hazard and the risks (safety, operational, economic, and public welfare) posed by the hazard. Key topics that need to be covered when providing such guidance include the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\t\u003cp\u003eIdentifying areas where landslide or subsidence hazards are possible\u003cbr\u003e\n\tDefining the extent, type, magnitude and severity of the potential ground displacement along the pipeline route\u003cbr\u003e\n\tDetermining the breadth and scope of geological and geotechnical investigations\u003cbr\u003e\n\tAccounting for physical and environmental conditions, including potential future considerations (e.g., unusual rainfall, changes in land use, site development, flooding)that can alter the likelihood or severity of a potential geohazards.\u003cbr\u003e\n\tIdentifying approaches for assessing pipeline response to expected ground movements\u003cbr\u003e\n\tIdentifying appropriate risk mitigation measures and evaluating their effectiveness\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese guidelines are intended to be of interest to various parties involved in the operations and regulation of natural gas and liquid hydrocarbon pipelines:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\t\u003cp\u003ePipeline owners and the technical specialists that work with them to develop reasonable measures to assure adequate levels of integrity for buried pipelines through areas of landslide and subsidence hazards,\u003cbr\u003e\n\tPipeline regulators that approve the construction and operation of pipelines\u003cbr\u003e\n\tIndividuals and non-government organizations with an interest public safety and environmental impact issues associated with pipeline construction and operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the main goals of these guidelines is to provide a mechanism for improving theunderstanding of the types and quality of hazard information that can reasonably beprovided and practical measures available to reduce or manage the risk of operating apipeline in an area of landslide and subsidence hazards.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRCI Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44367622209614,"sku":"15249","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/prci-store.myshopify.com\/products\/l52292-guideline-for-constructing-pipelines-through-areas-prone-to-landslide-and-subsidence-hazards","provider":"PRCI Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
