A global perspective
on pipeline geohazards
By Moness Rizkalla, Visitless Integrity Assessment Ltd, Calgary, AB, Canada
Geohazard management practice has advanced considerably in recent years, due to several factors:
global pipeline expansion in areas of difficult terrain, coupled with a greater understanding of the
prevalence of geohazards; business and regulatory drivers promoting the proactive management of
these hazards; and, an active peer community that is enabled with ever-improving tools to better
manage this class of pipeline integrity hazards.
