PHMSA Issues Landslide Warning to Natural Gas Pipeline Owners

摘要

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has issued an advisory bulletin to remind owners and operators of natural gas and hazardous liquid pipelines of the potential for damage caused by earth movement from landslides and subsidence in variable, steep and rugged terrain and for varied geological conditions. “These conditions can pose a threat to the integrity of pipeline facilities if those threats are not identifed and mitigated,” PHMSA said.
