Course overview
**This is a previously recorded virtual training**
(Video Only. No PDH available)
The Effects of Construction and Blast Vibration on Buried pipelines is a one-day course that covers the effects of vibration from blasting operation and construction activities on buried pipelines.
In this course, you will learn:
1. Generals of ground vibration
2. Acceptable vibration levels for a buried pipeline
3. Integrity issues due to vibration and blast operation
Vibration from construction equipment (e.g. vibratory compactor, pile driving, jackhammer) and blast operation near a buried pipeline will be discussed, and engineering methods to calculate vibration induced stresses will be reviewed. We will also review acceptance criteria for vibration induced stresses in a buried pipeline.
