Conducting Class Location Studies for Pipeline Safety and Compliance
Class location studies are essential for assessing and maintaining pipeline safety, especially as population density changes near pipelines. This content outlines a typical approach to conducting these studies, beginning with the creation of pipeline buffers and assessing buildings intended for human occupancy within a specific distance from the pipeline. Steps include performing desktop studies, field verification for uncertain structures, and continuously updating geospatial records to reflect changes in population density. The content also discusses the importance of accurately classifying buildings and areas, particularly for Class 3 and Class 4 locations, where more complex criteria apply. This process is crucial for ensuring regulatory compliance and the safe operation of pipelines.
