procedure and required steps / documentation for underground pipelines

(OP)
hi friends, I'm looking for simple procedure for pipeline design , what is steps actually executed, and what is required drawings / documentation for this task, and what will be the difference if we talking about piping system in process facility , any references will be helpful , thank you in advance for the help.

RE: procedure and required steps / documentation for underground pipelines

The difference might be up to +/- 1000 miles.
Your pipe and construction specs will be about 1000X more important.
You no longer have a controlled environment.
You will have thousands of landowners, animals, soils, rocks, rivers, lakes and trees to consider.
Permits will be a large part of most work.
Switch your design codes to B31.4 or B31.8 and start reading.

you must get smarter than the software you're using.

RE: procedure and required steps / documentation for underground pipelines

Simple step - hire an experienced pipeline engineer / consulting company.

There are courses that last days showing the basic difference between piping and pipeline and how to perform design effectively, so there's no chance of getting this sort of info on a forum like this.

Like BI says, get a copy of a few pipeline design codes and read them - the ISO 13623 code is written more like a design manual than B 31.4 or 8 ("consider this, look at that"), but think of it in transport terms - you're talking about a X00 km long highway versus a grid pattern set of paths inside a fenced compound. Theoretically similar, but in reality quite quite different.

My motto: Learn something new every day

Also: There's usually a good reason why everyone does it that way
