PRINCIPLES OF PIPELINE DESIGN
The following points should be covered during
the design of pipeline:
1. Effect of the environment
2. Routing process
3. Approval and legal considerations

ROUTING PROCESS
1. Pipeline route should be as short as possible
2. Onshore pipelines the route must take into consideration:
A. Sensitive areas (Areas of populations, national parks, …etc)
B. Environment (wildlife, archaeological);
C. Geography (rocky areas, fault lines, areas of erosion)
D. Crossing (road, rail ways, rivers)
E. Location of compressor / pumping stations
F. Location of above-ground installations

ROUTING PROCESS
In addition, the route of pipeline should avoid:
1. Running parallel with high-density traffic routes
2. Running parallel to electrical power lines and other oil or
gas pipelines
3. If crossing is required, the pipeline should cross
perpendicular to the road/ railway

DETAILED DESIGN PARAMETERS
12
The following points should be taken into consideration when
determining the route of a pipeline:
1. Pipeline diameter (nominal size)
2. Find out the wall thickness (from the standard tables)
3. Material grade (suitable for the environment)
4. Maximum operating pressure and flow conditions
5. Operating temperature (fluid& environment temp.)
6. Pressure drop
7. Corrosion protection which is suitable for this route.

FACTORS THAT INFLUNCE THE LENGTH OF A PIPELINE
13
These factors are:
1. Design pressure
2. Acceptable pressure drop,
3. Pipeline diameter,
4. Wall thickness, and
5. The temperature profile

PIPELINE COATING
16
Why we coat pipelines?
The two main methods which are commonly
used to protect pipelines are:
1.Coating
2.Cathodic protection
(CP) system

PIPELINE COATING REQUIREMENTS
17
Pipeline coating must have the following characteristics:
1.Thermal stability (will not deform under high operating
temperatures)
2.Impermeability to water and moisture;
3.Chemical stability (does not degrade owing to chemical
reaction with soil or surroundings)
4. Ease of use;
5. Economical.

Methods of pipeline protection include:
1. Concrete coating
2. Increased wall thickness
3. Burial;
4. Sleeve protection;
5. Marker tapes;
6. Protective concrete slabs
