ABSTRACT
This paper details the execution of electromagnetic testing and miscellaneous improvements on a 30-year-old, 10-mile-long pipeline in North Texas. During a short three-week period, 10.5 miles of 72-in. diameter pipe were drained and filled, two 72-inch butterfly valves were installed, over 2,000 joints of prestressed concrete cylinder pipe were internally bonded, and 140 test stations were installed. A team of 65 people was deployed throughout the pipeline right-of-way with crews and equipment working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This work was successfully completed due to extensive planning efforts, effective coordination and communication between the project team, and special attention and compliance with confined space safety requirements.
