Pipeline Construction Risks to a Large Community (Cabrillo Palisades Pipeline Relocation at Pacific Bell Property in San Diego)

The 24-in. diameter, 415-ft Cabrillo Palisades Pipeline needed to be relocated. This water pipeline ran under Linda Vista Road, nearly under a giant tree (whose roots threatened to break the pipeline), along the side of a communications facility, and under State Route 163. A break in the pipeline at almost any point would spell disaster. Like most projects, the Cabrillo Palisades Pipeline relocation started with classic engineering approaches--a focus on the design requirements and the project schedule. Upon closer inspection, several critical safety and risk issues became apparent. Risk assessment then became a critical component early in the project planning. This paper discusses the risk assessment and the planning, design, and construction management techniques. Also discussed are project enhancements and environmental considerations.
