"This book will serve as a valuable reference to widely applicable and critically important geoenvironmental topics for pipeline engineers worldwide. The topics covered are: route selection, open cut and elevated driver crossings, horizontal directional drilling, buoyancy control and geohazard management. Authored by a team of recognized specialists in their respective fields and with practical examples from experiences around the world, this book will provide generalists with working knowledge in the topics addressed to better define design, construction and integrity management issues and to identify practical solutions"-- Provided by publisher.
