- | INTRODUCTION | + | The trial has successfully demonstrated ROSEN’s |
- | Maintaining a minimum depth of cover is recognized as | + | methodology to estimate the depth of cover over |

- | Association (UKOPA) good practice guide for managing | + | pipeline centreline from data obtained during a |
- | pipelines with reduced depth of cover [1] states that the | + | routine internal inspection, combined with ground |
- | best way of determining pipeline depth of cover is to | + | elevation data available from the Environment |
- | take measurements as part of an over-line survey. The | + | Agency (EA) to calculate depth of cover. |
- | guide recommends measurements should be taken at | + | • The results of the calculation have been validated |
- | 50 m intervals but this should be modified depending | + | against infield depth of cover measurements obtained using a pipe and cable locator. The accuracy |
- | on topography of the land and any known local issues | + | of the depth of cover results has been calculated |
- | such as ground erosion. | + | using a root mean square (RMS) error method. This |

- | identify reduced depth of cover over an entire pipeline. | + | • Infield ground surface measurements were compared with the EA LiDAR and OS Terrain data. A |
- | Knowledge of the locations of reduced depth of cover can help NGGT reduce the likelihood of third party | + | |

- | METHODOLOGY | + | |
- | ground elevation data | + | |
- | Ground elevation data can be collected using several | + | |
- | methods. Accurate data for small areas can be collected using differential global positioning system (DGPS) | + | |
- | survey equipment. To capture ground elevation data on a | + | |
- | larger scale, a LiDAR sensor can be attached to aircraft. | + | |
- | LiDAR is a | + | |
- | remote sensing | + | |
- | method which | + | |
- | uses laser light | + | |
- | to measure | + | |
- | distance to | + | |
- | a target and | + | |
- | is commonly | + | |
- | used to map | + | |
- | terrain and surface objects. | + | |
- | The advantage | + | |
- | of this method | + | |
- | is that a large | + | |
- | amount of | + | |
- | highly accurate | + | |
- | data can be | + | |
- | collected allowing large areas | + | |
- | to be surveyed | + | |
- | efficiently. | + | |
- | internal insPeCtion | + | |
- | Standards for operating high pressure pipelines require | + | |
- | that the condition of a pipeline is established periodically. The condition is established by the use of internal | + |
