Journal of Pipeline Systems Engineering and Practice

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Pipeline Systems Engineering and Practice is a professional, authoritative technical resource that reports on a broad range of topics pertaining to the planning, engineering, design, construction, renewal, safety, operation and maintenance, asset management, environmental aspects, and sustainability of pipeline systems.

An important technical reference for researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government, it presents in-depth information on water distribution and transmission systems, wastewater collection systems (gravity and force mains), storm sewers and drainage structures/culverts, oil, gas, industrial, slurry, pneumatic and capsule pipelines, as well as conduit applications for power and communication cables.

ASCE strives to advance research across civil engineering and related disciplines that will help inform, develop, and inspire sustainable action. We therefore encourage authors to categorize their research using at least one of the Sustainable Development Goals identified by the United Nations.
