Montana Department of Transportation’s Post

The construction and operation of cross-country pipelines require significant planning, engineering, and regulatory approvals. These pipelines must be designed to withstand the pressure and temperature changes during transportation and must be monitored regularly for leaks or other safety concerns as these pipelines are laid out in public spaces. External corrosion is one of the major concern which need to be addressed from FEED stage.

Pipeline Pre-commissioning is a critical phase in pipeline construction that prepares the system for safe and efficient operation. It involves various activities to ensure that the pipeline is clean, dry, and structurally sound before introducing the product.

🌞 Enjoying the Hot Weather? Stay Mindful of Track Buckling! 🚄 As we all enjoy the warm weather and the heat (not complaining!), it's crucial to remain vigilant about the potential risk of track buckling under these conditions. Here’s an important reminder about the NR/L3/TRK7012 Network Rail standard/control document, which has been mandatory for Network Rail Infrastructure Limited and its contractors since 6 March 2021. To make it easier for everyone, we've highlighted the four most important points of this standard: 1. Purpose of the Standard: The standard provides procedures for identifying, recording, and managing sites requiring Critical Rail Temperature (CRT) to mitigate the risk of track buckling during activities that affect the track system. 2. Scope of Application: This standard applies to all projects and organizations involved in projects that change, renew, enhance, or remove Network Rail infrastructure assets. However, it does not apply to works undertaken by the maintenance organization. 3. Key Requirements: Identification of Stress Free Temperature (SFT) and Joint Closure Temperature (JCT) for use in CRT assessments. Conducting CRT assessments, which include identifying adjustment switches, rail section type, bearer/sleeper type, track geometry, and ensuring a compliant ballast profile. 4. Competency and Reporting: Competency assessment requirements for site assessors and CEMs. Deployment of CRT watchpersons. Reporting procedures for any buckles detected. By adhering to these guidelines, we can help ensure the safety and integrity of our rail infrastructure, even during the hottest days. Let's stay proactive and keep our tracks safe! At Track Civil Engineering Solutions LTD, we have trained and competent staff with the following CRT competencies: Track CRE Critical Rail Temperature (CRT) Management CRT Assessor Installation of speedboards (ESR / TSR) Hot Weather Watcher (Monitor Permanent Way Infrastructure) If we can be of assistance on any of the above services please do not hesitate to contact us on: enquiries@trackcivileng.uk #RailSafety #TrackBuckling #Infrastructure #NetworkRail #SafetyStandards #Engineering #HotWeatherSafety #TrackCivilEngineeringSolutionsLTD #RailSafety #TrackBuckling #Infrastructure #NetworkRail #SafetyStandards #Engineering #HotWeatherSafety

⚠️ Case Study: Lessons from the 2018 Communication Tower Collapse 🏗️ In April 2018, a tragic collapse occurred during structural modifications to the KOZK 1,891-foot communication tower in Fordland, Missouri. The tower, which was undergoing reinforcement to support transmission line upgrades, collapsed due to flawed modification procedures, compromising the structure's stability. Here’s what went wrong—and the lessons to be learned: 🔑 Flawed Modification Procedures: The diagonal replacement procedure weakened the surrounding braces and compromised the load-bearing capacity of the tower legs. 📝 Lesson: Always ensure structural modifications are thoroughly evaluated and tested to avoid unintentional compromises to stability. ⚠️ Risk of Overloading: The structural modifications overlooked how changes in one area could affect the overall load-bearing capacity of the tower. 📝 Lesson: Structural assessments should account for the integrated nature of load distribution, especially when working with tall, complex structures. 💼 Contractor Responsibility: At the time of collapse, the contractor was performing the flawed structural modifications, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that all procedures meet safety standards before work begins. 📝 Lesson: Contractors and project managers must work closely to ensure all structural changes follow strict safety protocols. At SHEQ Network, we help businesses avoid such tragedies by providing comprehensive contractor compliance and safety management solutions. Our Contractor Management Portals and Work Permit Systems ensure that all procedures are thoroughly vetted and compliant with safety standards, protecting both your projects and your people. #SafetyFirst #WorkplaceSafety #ConstructionSafety #Compliance #SHEQ

Geometric deformations and movements of #pipelines have a negative impact on their safe and efficient operation and can lead to performance degradation and ultimately to pipeline failure if not identified, located, and addressed. We take a holistic approach to pipeline mapping, movement, and inspection, focusing on the operator's specific upstream, transmission, and distribution asset needs. Our integrated #pipelinemanagement framework includes mapping and geometry inspections. When combined with our prevention, management, and rehabilitation solutions, our framework enables #safe, compliant, and efficient pipeline operations. Curious?
