Hazard Resources and Weightings in the Third-Party Damage Assessment System for Town Gas Pipeline

摘要

The potential for pipeline failure caused by third-party damage is the most familiar hazard associated with town gas pipelines. Previous work on identifying the hazard resources and weighting factors were briefly introduced. A survey was carried out to identify the hazard resources and their weightings in the third-party damage risk assessment system. the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was employed in the survey to calculate the weightings. Ten hazard resources were identified and their weightings were calculated based on the survey results.
