[ Crossings ]

While there are many identified “core” competencies an engineer should have when working with pipelines, there are many others that are important as well.

Since our transmission pipelines traverse across a multitude of properties, features, and landforms, it’s obvious that they will also cross railways, roads, watercourses and other utilities.  So knowing how those crossings are done is essential. 

We need to know the depth of crossing, the contours, load calculations, as well as interfaces with CP cross bonding and even the warning sign requirements so that those going digging around their asset will know there’s a pipeline there too.
