Protection of Underground Pipeline Assets from Adjacent Construction from Asset Owner’s Perspective
Underground pipeline assets (water mains, sewer lines, storm drain pipes, meter and valve vaults, etc.) are subject to impacts from adjacent construction activities, such as open-cut excavations, tunneling, grading, pile driving, blasting, and construction loadings from heavy construction equipment (i.e., cranes). These activities may cause additional stresses, deformations, and other risks that can lead to failures of underground utilities. An article on the San Francisco Examiner dated January 13, 2014, stated approximately 25% of all breaks were caused by nearby construction activities, which was significant. This paper presents the potential consequences of these impacts and discusses, from an owner’s perspective, the provisions for protecting pipeline assets, including steps for impact assessment, evaluation methods, damage criteria, risk mitigation measures, and contingency plans. Example projects also are included. Utility protection is a collaborative process between utility owners, project owners, engineers, contractors, and all other stakeholders. With proper provisions in place, the interests and concerns of all the stakeholders can be adequately addressed.
