Abstract
To meet regulatory requirements, a possible 156-inch diameter transmission main was evaluated as one alternative for a 22 mile long urban pipeline through the City of Houston. This paper will focus on the investigation of a number of constructability and operational issues a pipe of this size posed. Issues to be presented will include the hydraulic analysis to determine the pipe size options along with issues related to maintaining a competitive environment to minimize cost of the pipeline while reducing construction duration requirements.
