The force of water against banks can cause erosion by dislodging soil particles. If a pipeline crosses a stream with eroding banks, the line is susceptible to exposure and damage if the erosion issue is not addressed. What is LPSTP? A common method of bank stabilization is longitudinal peaked stone toe protection (LPSTP), which was

Many solutions exist to mitigate depth of cover issues or exposed pipelines; however, some are more efficient and cost-effective than others. Let’s compare two of the most common solutions for establishing adequate cover over pipelines: horizontal directional drilling and articulating concrete mats. What is Horizontal Directional Drilling? Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is a trenchless method
