Pipelines in the Constructed Environment
This proceedings,
Delivered into Providence
The Bristol County Water Authority of Rhode Island needed a pipeline to move potable water into the eastern regions, but the Providence River stood in the way. Directional-drilling provided...
Concrete Colossus
After finding 120 million cubic meters of oil and 30 billion standard cubic meters of natural gas 175 kilometers off the Norwegian coast, Houston-based Conoco, Inc. was faced with a second...
Corrosion Control
As pipe systems with nonwelded joints have become more common, so have problems with corrosion. It's up to designers to carefully consider corrosion issues in order to avoid...
Channel Stability Assessment for Flood Control Projects
This manual provides assistance for determining potential channel instability and sedimentation effects in flood control projects. It is intended to facilitate consideration of the type...
Hydraulic Fracturing Advances (Available Only in Geoenvironmental Special Issue)
Removing contaminants trapped in clays and nonpermeable soils can be difficult if not impossible with traditional extraction methods. A look at four hydraulic fracturing case studies shows...
Water Works
The largest water pipeline under construction is in Botswana, in Africa. The North/South carrier project is phase one of a three phase program to bring water to this arid country. Letsobogo...
Taking in the River
As dams across the country age, so do their intake gates, and testing them requires dewatering. To meet the challenge of dewatering these structures without upsetting sensitive aquatic...
Fathoming the Strength of Structures
More and more, the owners of bridges and piers are budgeting rehabilitations based on inspections done underneath the waterline. Increasingly, they want the underwater inspectors to be...
Preparing for Repair (Available only in Geoenvironmental Special Issue)
The Sacramento River Water Treatment Plant, Sacramento, Calif., was built in 1924 and hadn't been upgraded since 1958. In 1996, the city of Sacramento, the owner of the plant,...
