A case study showing the growing risk to pipeline infrastructure from erosion and channel degradation. In November of 2011, Burns and McDonnell was contacted about an exposed natural gas pipeline in a residential neighborhood of Arlington, Texas. The natural gas pipeline was a 20-inch diameter high pressure line within close proximity to adjacent houses. The pipeline was exposed as it crosses Key Branch just northeast of the intersection of Woodside Drive and West Mayfield Road in Arlington, Texas. The channel had eroded over the decade the pipeline was in place resulting in the pipeline exposure. The client wanted Burns and McDonnell to provide alternatives to fix the exposure and protect the pipeline long term.
