Transmission Pipelines

PIPESAFE is a hazard and risk assessment package for gas transmission pipelines, developed by Advantica for an international group of gas pipeline companies. Although the likelihood of failure of transmission pipelines is very low, the possibility of failure and a subsequent fire cannot be discounted. PIPESAFE provides the means to take consistent and informed decisions on risk issues, including infringements to pipeline design codes, uprating of pipelines (i.e. to operate at higher pressures), pipeline routeing and land use planning. The development of PIPESAFE was first reported at IPC ’98. This paper describes recent enhancements to the package, validation of the predictions against full-scale experiments and incidents, and modifications to the risk calculation methods. The paper also describes risk criteria developed in the UK and The Netherlands, the background to their development, and the use of PIPESAFE to generate risk criteria included in the latest edition of the UK pipeline code IGE/TD/1.

Transmission Pipelines

PIPESAFE is a knowledge based hazard and risk assessment package for gas transmission pipelines, which has been developed jointly by an international group of gas transmission companies. PIPESAFE has been developed from the BG (formerly British Gas) TRANSPIRE package, to produce an integrated assessment tool for use on PCs. which includes a range of improvements and additional models backed by large scale experimentation. This paper describes the development of the PIPESAFE package, and the formulation and validation of the mathematical models included within it.

Landslides are common geologic hazard occurring in all parts of the world predominantly in the rainy season. In recent years, landslide risk mapping has played an important role in developing land-use planning and it helps to minimize the loss of lives and damages to property. A variety of approaches have been used in landslide hazard and risk assessment and these can be classified into heuristic approach, statistical approach, deterministic approach, etc. An abrupt development of computers after 1990, geographic information systems (GIS) became essential tools for landslide hazard assessment. However, validation and replication is always difficult and there are little works on the satisfactory validation of various approaches. This paper deals with several aspects of landslide hazard and risk assessment by presenting a focalized review of GIS-based landslide hazard and risk assessment with a critical information of the state of the art in using GIS and digital elevation model (DEM) derivative for landslide hazard and risk assessment. This paper also describes some statistical and deterministic approaches and suggests detail step-by-step methodologies. It also describes in brief about integration of various database software and GIS.

Definition Of

There is an increasing need for quantitative rockfall hazard and risk assessment that requires a precise definition of the terms and concepts used for this particular type of landslide. This paper suggests using terms that appear to be the most logic and explicit as possible and describes methods to derive some of the main hazards and risk descriptors. The terms and concepts presented concern the rockfall process (failure, propagation, fragmentation, modelling) and the hazard and risk descriptors, distinguishing the cases of localized and diffuse hazards. For a localized hazard, the failure probability of the considered rock compartment in a given period of time has to be assessed, and the probability for a given element at risk to be impacted with a given energy must be derived combining the failure probability, the reach probability, and the exposure of the element. For a diffuse hazard that is characterized by a failure frequency, the number of rockfalls reaching the element at risk per unit of time and with a given energy (passage frequency) can be derived. This frequency is relevant for risk assessment when the element at risk can be damaged several times. If it is not replaced, the probability that it is impacted by at least one rockfall is more relevant.
