Pipeline By Mohammed Najafi

• Pipe Ramming Projects presents the latest and best practices used by engineers and construction professionals for the design and construction of road and railroad crossings using pipe ramming technologies. The manual is divided into seven sections and is based upon the results of case studies, workshops, project reviews, technical papers, and other information contributed by industry experts. Part 1 presents general concepts and includes an introduction, history, recent innovations, applicable documents, typical applications, and a glossary of terms.Parts 2 through 5 provide important information on the planning, design, preconstruction, materials, and construction phases of the pipe ramming method. Part 6 presents several case studies, and Part 7 contains a list of references. Providing both introductory and advanced design and construction information to support the safe, cost-effective, and efficient application of the pipe ramming method, this manual will be valuable to both new and experienced engineers, as well as utility owners, contractors, and other industry professionals.

• New Pipeline Technologies, Security, and Safety includes 200 papers, which were presented at the Pipelines 2003 International Conference on Pipeline Engineering and Construction, in Baltimore, Maryland, July 13-16, 2003. These Proceedings focused on application of existing and emerging technologies for asset management, condition assessment, pipeline renewal, pipeline protection, and safety and security concerns. In addition, other timely topics covered included: Geographic Information Systems; Hydraulic Modeling; Risk Assessment and Management; Fiber Optics in Utilities; Trenchless Technologies; Operation and Maintenance; Seismic Effects on Pipelines; Pipe Locating Technologies; Investigation Innovations; Freight Pipelines; and Emerging Technologies.
