A 50-foot wide pipeline right-of-way contained one 8-inch diameter pipeline inside of a 10-inch casing. The pipeline was exposed across the entire 130-foot Mad River crossing in Montgomery County, Ohio. The pipeline was also suspended over a 5-foot deep by 30-foot long scour hole.
Seven pipelines crossing Lake Sakakawea in McKenzie & Williams Counties, North Dakota, experienced exposures, low depth of cover, and shoreline erosion. A multibeam bathymetry and magnetometer survey of the pipeline was completed to identify topographic features...
The 50-foot-wide pipeline right-of-way has one 10-inch diameter refined products pipeline crossing the Volga River in Fayette, IA. The pipeline is exposed for the entire width of the Volga River. A channel has formed beneath the pipeline, causing the pipeline to span about 12 inches off the riverbed in the middle of the river.
A 12-inch natural gas pipeline crosses Buffalo Creek in Beckham County, Oklahoma in a 16-foot wide right-of-way. The creek bed and banks are composed of clay and sand. A fallen tree in the creek pushed water to the right creating a scour area and eroding the right descending bank.
The 100-foot-wide pipeline ROW has two 8-inch crude oil pipelines that cross Platte County, Wyoming. The soil is composed of mostly sandy material. Wind erosion was blowing sand and removing cover from the pipelines, leaving the pipelines with shallow cover.
A 50-foot wide pipeline right-of-way has one 30-inch natural gas pipeline that crosses Las Huertas Creek, Arroyo Channel, in Sandoval County, New Mexico. The Arroyo Channel had fairly steep banks composed of clay, sand, gravel, and rock and the pipeline had limited ground cover over an 1100-foot section.
A 14-inch products pipeline runs parallel to an interstate in San Bernardino County, California. A nearby river has meandered towards the pipeline. Significant rainfall and run-off water have eroded the bank and undercut the pipeline, leaving the line exposed for 60 feet at a height of 17 feet.
An 18-inch natural gas and fuel pipeline crosses a tributary to Perkiomen Creek in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania in a 50-foot wide right-of-way. The creek bed is composed of shale, gravel, and sand while the banks are composed of clay, rock, and gravel.
A 16-inch natural gas pipeline crosses Sawmill Run in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania in a 40-foot wide right-of-way. The channel bed is composed of rock and gravel, and riprap lines the banks. The Department of Transportation had installed new box culverts directly upstream of the pipeline, and sediment had gathered in the box culverts.
