I discovered that broad body of work this morning surfing the net, and I agree it may have some merit, within the data, to pursue and add to the "query" . Thanks!
FYI, further reading and head-scratching has pointed me to the following areas for focus: I am seeking studies or data expansion...
Yes, fellows, thanks for that . Those are the charts i have referred to.
Wood Thickness plus its density, in padding the force from the rocks, thereby preventing point load "spikes" onto the pipe, and so forth... isn't well explained with that data, at least to me (and my paygrade!)
For...
Lumber (usually of KD Lodgepole Pine and Spruce) is often used to make a protective wrap on large pipelines, to protect damage to the anti-corrosion coatings caused by rugged terrain, rock, etc.. during the lowering in and burial. This has been a common sense solution over the years. Now, in...
Thanks. Yes. The pipe has CP. The owners query the presence of metal in the vacinity of the pipe. (albeit the soft, low grade metal of wire and staples, vs. Coated and CP Gas Pipe that is 6" to 36" in diameter)
I agree that the separation by the wood is the insulator, and suggest that the wire...
The use of Wood Lagging in Pipeline construction is an effective and inexpensive way to provide superior mechanical protection during installation, lowering-in and burial; where rocky material would damage the corrosion protection. The wood lagging is manufactured with 11 ga. soft steel wire and...
