Safety Distance between New LPG Pipeline to Exsiting Hydrocarbon pipe lines in the Existing Pipeline
Safety Distance between New LPG Pipeline to Exsiting Hydrocarbon pipe lines in the Existing Pipeline
(OP)
HI all,
Could any body clarify me the following?
We are doing a tecno economical study on the LPG pipeline which has to be layed for abt 230 Kms.
We are planning to use the Existing pipeline corridor, But the issue is could you please tell me the Minimum safety distance to be followed for the LPG pipeline from Existing Hydrocarbon liquid Pipelines.
please provide me the reference also.
Thanks,
Anto

The separation distance then mainly is about a practical limit in terms of installing another pipeline next/over what I assume is a working pipeline. I would recommend at least 1m separation edge to edge, but in theory could be a minimum of 300mm. Of course the existing pipeline owners will have their own thoughts and rights over the strip the existing pipeline is buried in so they're you're first port of call.

Practically, if the trench is excavated in poor soil, a good practice is to place good embedment to a width of half a pipe
diameter on each side of the pipe. So the minimum trench width is sometimes specified to be two pipe diameters in poor
native soil with low-bearing capacity.
You would want the new pipeline excavation to avoid having an affect on the existing pipe installation. Without knowing more details on the installation, a number for planning purposes that I would recommend is 2 meter separation between the width of the pipe trenches.
Here is a publication to get your started.
