The most recent Notice for Proposed Rule Making (NPRM)(1) issued by the US Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) addresses pipeline integrity and indirect inspections and has language that relates to Horizontally Directionally Drilled (HDD) installed pipelines. It is known that the deeper the pipeline is the less sensitive indirect inspections such as Close Interval Surveys, Current Attenuation Surveys, Direct Current Voltage Gradient Surveys and Alternating Current Voltage Gradient surveys can be. The question becomes how deep is too deep to run a successful indirect inspection and still have valid results? This paper will address this issue with real world examples of indirection inspections of HDD installed pipelines at various depths including a discussion of potential alternate methods for inspection. Suggested indirect inspection criteria of these deep pipelines will also be addressed.

For pipe installed through bore methods, visual inspections and electronic coating holiday detectors during installation becomes impractical. This paper/presentation will discuss the steps we took as a pipeline operator to find a practical approach to performing a coating quality test on bored pipe.

An alternative method to record the potential shift when performing a coating conductance test outlined in NACE TM0102-021 is proposed. This method utilizes an oscilloscope rather than a digital multimeter to capture the potential shift when performing the applied current method.
