A Pipeline Transportation Safety R&D Working Group Meeting took place at the DOT Transportation Systems Center on June 30 - July 1, 1980. The objective of this meeting was to reach concensus on future pipeline transportation safety issues and possible solutions requiring specific and timely R&D. The meeting was attended by representatives from industry, associations, research institutes, universities and government agencies associated with pipeline transportation safety. The meeting resulted in the identification of future concerns in the areas of: pipeline system analysis methodology, pipeline inspection and maintenance, and pipeline design and construction. The conclusions of the workshop will be a source for formulating the Pipeline Transportation Safety R&D Plan of the DOT Transportation Programs Bureau.
