For those in the oil and gas pipeline industry, it’s important to take the time to understand the geology behind wildfires. Wildfires are often under-looked as a threat to pipelines but can cause significant damage, especially when it comes to erosion and altering a landscape. Fortunately, there are some tools available to the industry that

As plans begin to come together for a new project in the Vermillion River corridor, one thing is abundantly clear – developers are going to need to invest heavily in streambank restoration and erosion control to help protect the area. Dakota County, where a majority of the project is set to take place, has made

Dewatering is a significant component of constructing shallow-water pipelines and is incredibly important for many of today’s pipeline projects. It seems like the construction of shallow water pipelines is increasing, with more and more lines running through areas like river crossings and streambeds.

A common belief in the oil and gas industry is that pipeline erosion control and site stabilization are only necessary when working in shallow waters, riverbanks, wetlands, or angled surfaces like hillsides. However, erosion can occur practically anywhere, including places where you’d least expect it.

A Submar project should not be considered complete until the solutions team implements Best Management Practices (BMPs). The group of engineers at Pipeline Monitoring understands this. After surveying your project site, they will come up with a solution for long-term sustainability that meets BMP standards for your area. Our clients often find that the answer

As you well know, corrosion is one of the biggest enemies of the oil and gas pipeline industry. It is a significant threat when working with underwater pipelines. Although advancements have been made in the last few years with technology like corrosion-resistant alloys, companies have often found that it’s not enough. If other measures are

Installing a shallow water pipeline often means working in low-lying coastal or marsh areas. While we put a considerable amount of time into the installation, erosion control, and other technical components, it’s easy to overlook the unthinkable: insects. This tends to hold especially true when it comes to the crew members working on the shallow

When constructing a pipeline, erosion and soil loss is very often underestimated. Pipeline erosioncan have severe effects on a project. It’s essential for companies to invest in protecting their projects and mitigate the risks of pipeline erosion. Choosing not to do so can have severe economic impacts.
