Welding Inspection The most common inspection method relies on radiographic, or X-ray, examination of completed welds. Construction plans specify what type of inspection will be required and what portion of welds must be examined by each method. For instance, it might be specified that where the pipeline traverses open...
Pipeline Construction Project
Pipe Bending As welding proceeds along the pipeline, a slight change in direction or a significant change in elevation may require a bend in the pipeline. Many such bends are made by a bending machine on the job site that bends a joint of pipe to the required curvature (see Figure 3.3-11). Even large-diameter pipe can ...
Pipeline Construction Project
Pipe Coating If not pre coated at the coating mill, the pipe exterior is coated and wrapped after welding is complete. Coating and wrapping are done using special machines that move along the pipeline ROW. Coal tar enamel is the most common pipeline coating; others include thin-film powdered epoxy and extruded polyethy...
Pipeline Construction Project
Lowering the Pipeline into the Ditch When the welding and coating are complete, the pipe is suspended over the ditch by sideboom tractors, which are crawler tractors with a special hoisting frame attached to one side. Then the pipeline is gradually lowered to the bottom of the ditch (“lowering in”) (see Figure 3.3-13)....
