1.0 INTRODUCTION The aim of this calculation is to determine the stability of the pipeline through water course crossings.
2.0 METHOD The method used to determine the stability of the pipeline through water courses is to calculate the total weight of the pipeline and compare it with the weight of the external fluid (water) it would displace. In order for the pipeline to be considered stable, the pipeline weight must be 10% greater than the weight of the water displaced. The above method is overly conservative as it considers a pipeline free floating in water. In reality the pipeline lays in a trench covered by soil which will provide a hold down force to prevent floatation. This force is calculated by determining the submerged weight of soil above the pipeline. 3.0 REFERENCE DATA The reference data for this calculation has come from: Reference 1: ASME B 31.4 Design and OISD - STD - 141 2001 API 5L X65 Reference 2: Crude Pipeline Design Refer to Wall thickness Report 052893 - 03 - P - 3 - 020 and range of Calculations from 002 to 010

The pipeline in an open trench will be stable through flooded water courses. The buried pipeline will be stable through flooded water courses. The pipeline will be stable through flooded water courses where soil liquification has occurred.
