About 20% of Cenit’s hydrocarbon transport infrastructure are located on mountainous terrain susceptible to effect of geohazards. There is an integrity management plan based on inspection, monitoring and mitigation activities; however, the occurrence of accidents triggered by geohazards has caused emergencies with effects on environment receiver and on operation of transport systems This paper presents, through management some of these accidents, good practices identified, learning in terms of prevention, preparation and response to emergencies and identification of priorities and gaps, in order to strengthen continuous improvement of the geohazards integrity management strategy.
In slope movements with slow strain rates that affect rights of way (ROW) or its surrounding areas, an appropriate Inline Inspection (ILI) program with inertial modules may provide timely and quality information, with ease of matching with geotechnical events and lower costs than conventional monitoring methods. In virtue of above, for structural integrity management of pipeline, this information is necessary and its integration with the information obtained from other sources such as ROW patrol, terrain monitoring and pipeline monitoring. This document contains information related to the tracing, analysis and executed activities in the study case located in Colombian center-west, where neotectonic effects and a common ROW with a main highway converged.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
