Pipeline Planning and Construction Field Manual

The objective of this book is to provide engineers with the necessary tools and techniques for formulating plans, designs, cost estimates and specifications for pipeline construction and field maintenance and modernization programs. This is packed with easy to read and understand tables, pipeline schematics, bullet lists and "what to do next" checklists and covers the design, construction, and operation of onshore pipeline systems. This book incorporates construction methods, commissioning, pressure testing, and start up into the design of a pipeline system. The focus is on pipeline routing, mechanical design, construction methods, hydraulics, installation, and operations of onshore pipeline systems. With this book readers will acquire and/or consolidate the essential knowledge and skills to design, construct, and operate pipelines. Design and simulation problems are an integral part of this book.
