      <title>EFFECTS OF DEEP OCEAN ENVIRONMENT ON PLASTICS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/18165</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Effects of deep ocean environment on plastics were determined by placing various plastic materials such as Teflon, polyethylene, delrin, and acrylics in rod form and vinyl plastics in tube form on the floor of the Pacific Ocean for up to two years at a depth of 5640 ft and one year at a depth of 2370 ft.  In examining the specimens for biological deterioration, marine growth, hardness, and moisture absorption, it was found that many were damaged by marine boring organisms.]]></description>

      <title>LINING SYSTEM DOES THE JOB</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/475680</link>
      <description><![CDATA[For almost 50  years, PVC linings have been protecting structures in sewer systems from corrosion. There are two primary reasons for the long-term sucess. One reason is that PVC is impermeable to hydrogen sulfide gas; the other reasons is that it can be manufactured free of pinholes and thin areas. However, until recently it could not be cost-effectively retrofitted to existing structures. Several of the largest sewer authorities in the U.S. now use products and systems developed over the last 15 years by Linabond, Inc. (Los Angeles, California), which allow cost-effective retrofitting with impermeable, pinhole-free PVC sheets to rehabilitate pipelines and structures that have been damaged by corrosion. Linabond can also be used to protect new structures.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The National Transportation Safety Board recommends that federal highway funds be withheld from states that do not participate in excavation damage prevention programs.  The recommendation was made after a 3-year study showed that excavation and construction are the leading causes of natural gas pipeline accidents.  While pipeline accidents result in fewer fatalities annualy than other transportation accidents, they have the potential to cause a catastrophic disaster, says the study.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The proceedings of this workshop identify and prioritize pipeline-related research needs to maintain the present pipeline infrastructure in an acceptable working condition and discuss ways to improve the condition of the thousands of miles of deteriorating water, sewer, oil, natural gas, and products pipelines on which the people of the U.S. and Canada depend. Topics include pipeline safety and protection, pipeline design, pipeline operations, fluid mechanics/hydraulics of pipelines, construction and rehabilitation, automatic control and instrumentation, and freight.]]></description>

      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/462875</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Design methods are available to counter effects of pipeline movement on subsea riser systems. Their application depends on environmental conditions, platform structure/constraints, in-service conditions, pipeline approach to the platform, and economics. Factors for selecting among the methods are discussed here. A hypothetical project, a 24-inch OD pipeline, is presented as an example.]]></description>

      <title>INDUCED AC INFLUENCE ON PIPELINE CORROSION AND COATING DISBONDMENT. FINAL REPORT, NOVEMBER 1993-SEPTEMBER 1994</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/454946</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Gas transmission pipelines often share a common corridor with electric power transmission lines.  Magnetic-field coupling from the power line can induce AC voltage between the pipeline steel and the earth.  With induced AC voltage on the pipeline, conditions that influence AC-enhanced corrosion and the efficacy of recognized cathodic-protection criteria are unknown.  A preliminary laboratory investigation of general and pitting corrosion-rate enhancement by superimposed 60 Hz voltage, and the effectiveness of a recognized cathodic-protection criterion has been made.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Design and construction of twin suction intake pipelines to capture energy from the cold ocean waters off Hawaii's shores provided unexpected challenges for the pipeline contractors. Damages to pipes in the surf zone led designers to seek a deeper connection between the land-based pipe and the submerged sea pipeline.  This article describes the work carried out for the first Ocean Thermal Energy Project and the difficulties encountered as a result of wave action and seabed geology. Alignment options, buoyancy problems, and seaward drives are discussed.]]></description>

      <title>ESTIMATION OF BURIAL DEPTHS FOR PIPELINES IN ARCTIC REGIONS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/452398</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Oil prospects located offshore in the Arctic often require the design and construction of pipelines, which can be technically and financially prohibitive if covering a substantial distance. Ice scouring poses a significant threat to underwater pipelines for offshore oil production facilities in ice-infested waters. In many cases the only guard against this hazard for pipeline protection are trenching, burial, or creative alignment.  The optimal burial depths along the length of a pipeline are usually chosen on the basis of a hazard model that describes the recurrence rate and severity of scouring along its length. Although sufficient data at a specific site are rarely available to accurately predict the hazard model, several thousand scours have been recorded over extended regions and can offer an estimate of scouring hazards at preliminary stages of design. Two features of the proposed model are a parametrization of the scouring hazard model as a function of water depth and exposure to the ice environment, and the propagation of uncertainties due to model incompleteness and sample size.  As more site-specific data become available, the proposed model can be validated or readjusted.  Application of the proposed model is demonstrated for determination of the optimal burial depth for a hypothetical pipeline route.]]></description>

      <title>REMOVAL OF ASBESTOS-CONTAINING COATINGS (ACC) FROM GAS TRANSMISSION PIPELINES. FINAL REPORT, JANUARY 1991-OCTOBER 1993</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/422490</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Corrosion control coatings on transmission pipelines may contain asbestos as a secondary component of the coating.  Current environmental and health regulations require a wet removal process for asbestos materials that provides close control of airborne emissions and asbestos fibers in effluent water. Modification of current line-traveling, water jet equipment was successfully completed in developing an economic removal process for asbestos-containing coatings (ACC).  Materials handling components were added in yard experiments that permitted water jet removal, slurry filtration, and residue containerization meeting emission control levels, while providing pipe cleanliness suitable for recoating.  Field evaluations under in-the-ditch and over-the-ditch conditions on 16-, 26- and 30-inch pipelines verified the achievement of design coating removal rates and asbestos emission control that meets current regulations.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[A pipeline to deliver oil from Colombia's interior Cusiana oil field is being constructed over kilometers of Colombia's most treacherous terrain.  The pipeline snakes 30 km up and down steep forested inclines, through streams, and over faults.  This article describes construction of the pipeline, conditions of the route, and protection measures based on soil and site conditions along the right-of-way.  In addition, guerilla attacks insurgency against the pipeline and work crews have made construction dangerous at times.]]></description>
