ABSTRACT: The lifecycle of a pipeline typically involves several phases, from conception, including route selection, environmental assessment and engineering design, through construction, and into integrity management during operation. Each phase benefits extensively from the characterization of the terrain and existing or potential geohazards along the pipeline corridor. This paper provides a vision for integrating terrain and geohazards knowledge into the pipeline lifecycle. It is divided into three main parts: geohazards significance and management framework; integrating geohazards into pipeline project development; and geohazard management for operating pipelines.
RÉSUMÉ: Le cycle de vie d'un pipeline implique généralement plusieurs phases allant de la conception comprenant choix du tracé, évaluation environnementale et conception technique, à la construction, en passant par la gestion de l’intégrité du pipeline lors de son exploitation. Chaque phase bénéficie de la caractérisation préalable du terrain et des géorisques potentiels ou réels le long du tracé. Cet article présente la prise en compte des connaissances du terrain et des géorisques dans le cycle de vie du pipeline. Il est divisé en trois parties: l’importance de l’évaluation des géorisques et leur intégration dans la gestion opérationnelle des pipelines, la prise en compte des géorisques dans les phases de développement de projets de pipeline et la gestion des géorisques lors de l'exploitation de pipelines.
