The Pipeline Safety Research and Development project with the Government and pipeline operators will investigate current perspective on the practices, techniques, and technologies that can reduce the threat of third-party mechanical damage, and to codify those findings into an ASME Standard.
This project will examine existing and emerging mechanical damage prevention practice and will provide two reports at the conclusion: 1) A summary report detailing the technology options and associated implementation methodology to serve as a foundation for a new ASME pipeline integrity standard addressing mechanical damage from third parties and natural sources; and 2) A report that characterizes the effectiveness of two near-commercial damage prevention technologies: Acoustical Monitoring and Detection of short circuits on pipelines due to equipment contact.
