A 50-foot wide pipeline right-of-way contained an 18-inch refined product pipeline. The 18-inch pipeline crosses Dyer Ditch between a railroad corridor and a residential area in Lake County, Indiana. Downcutting of the creek bed caused the banks to become steep and unstable...
20-inch products pipeline runs parallel to a railroad track in Imperial County, California. Both the pipeline and the railroad are crossed by the 250-foot wide Mammoth Wash. Flash floods caused lateral migration and eroded 3 to 6 feet of the right-descending bank.
A 15-foot deep erosion rill had formed in an unnamed wash due to storm water flows, exposing one of four natural gas pipelines in the area. If left uncovered and unprotected, the pipeline risked further exposure and potential damage due to continued erosion.
A 22-inch diameter natural gas pipeline that crosses the northwest branch of the Anacostia River in Silver Spring, MD, had become exposed due to bank erosion and lateral migration of the channel. Previously placed rock failed to remediate the erosion issue.
An 8-inch natural gas pipeline crosses Caddo Creek in Carter County, Oklahoma. The bed and banks of the creek are composed of clay and sand and the banks are well vegetated. Heavy rain caused lateral migration and head cutting that eroded the right descending bank.
