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...
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...
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,...
Pipeline Research Needs
Nature's Payback (Available in Geoenvironmental Engineering Special Issue)
Environmental compensation is now a major concern for utilities and other developers who must compensate for impacting wetlands, streams and other environmentally-sensitive areas. To meet...
Efficient Pump Representation for Fixed-Grid MOC in Pipeline Systems
An explicit solution of the pump power failure boundary condition is shown to have many computational advantages over the conventional implicit pump boundary condition solution (i.e.,...
Value Engineering Changes to the Eastside Pipeline
Value Engineering is a process of applying analytic, creative and evaluative techniques to a project in order to make recommendations that will, when implemented, maximize value and quality...
The Secondary Inlet of the Eastside Pipeline Project
The subject of this paper is a design feature included in the current capital improvement program of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. This feature, the Secondary...
Rehabilitating Arctic Tundra in Alaska
During the past 25 years, there has been significant progress in tundra rehabilitation. Initially, agronomic practices requiring large quantities of grass seed and fertilizer were believed...
Grade Control Structures for Pipeline Crossings in the Arid Southwest
Pipeline crossings at streams, rivers, and washes are at risk due to bed and bank erosion in the river environment. Buried pipelines may be exposed in the channel bottom by scour of bed...
Application of Regime Theory in Practice: A Case Study
Alluvial channels are known to adjust their slope, width, depth and velocity to achieve stable conditions given a supply of water and sediment. Scientific investigations of stable channels...
Experiences in Cleaning Up the Influence of Oil Spill on the Water Bodies
Experiences in cleaning up the influence of oil spill on water bodies of Komi Republic (European part of Russian North) and Dagestan Republic (North Caucasus) was generalized. In both...
Model for Water Quality in Periphery of Distribution Systems
A model is presented for water travel time and chlorine concentration in periphery dead ends of the water distribution system. The model is developed under the premise that residential...
Comprehensive Modelling of Water Distribution Networks
An analyst of a water distribution systems must frequently contend with a host of problems with very different time scales. Traditionally, such concerns have been accommodated by having...
