Training to protect energy assets from disaster Pipeline Emergencies

摘要

Millions of miles of pipeline crisscross North America (the United States has some two million miles of it) carrying everything from flammable liquids and gasses to chemicals. Emergencies involving these pipelines rarely happen.In fact, pipelines are one of the safest modes of transportation for hazardous commodities.Incidents involving pipelines are usually the result of human error and third-party damage. But emergencies can also arise from natural disasters such as floods or earthquakes, or pipeline integrity failures like corrosion.
