$39 MILLION CARDINAL PIPELINE EXPANSION
April 2010 Vol. 237 No. 4
"Cardinal Pipeline Company LLC has executed precedent agreements to increase the pipeline's firm transportation capacity by 199,000 Dth/d.
The pipeline will transport additional natural gas supplies to growing markets served by Piedmont Natural Gas Company Inc., and Public Service Company of North Carolina from an interconnect with Williams Partners L.P.'s Transco pipeline.
The $39 million expansion is scheduled to be placed into service in July 2012. The expansion has been designed to serve growth on Piedmont's and PSNC Energy's distribution systems, including an expansion on Piedmont's system to serve Progress Energy Carolinas' planned gas-fired power generation facility in Wayne County, NC.
Cardinal Pipeline is a 105-mile, 24-inch pipeline that extends from Rockingham County, NC to a point southeast of Raleigh, NC, with a design capacity of 279,000 Dth/d."--------------------------------------

Identifying Minimum Safe Distance between Adjacent Parallel Pipelines

"Whenever a large diameter, high pressure gas pipeline is designed and constructed in an alignment that is parallel with an existing oil or petroleum products pipeline, pipeline operators focus is on pipeline safety. In the unlikely event that a catastrophic failure of one of the parallel pipelines occurs the minimum safe distance between the two pipelines is a critical factor for protecting the other pipeline facility.

Hmm... "Micro tunneling"...? Could explain the "boring machinery" mentioned that would be required to get the pipeline under the road and under the creek:

Design of Parallel Pipelines
http://ascelibrary.org/doi/abs/10.1061/40507%28282%2946
During construction, dead and live loads on existing pipelines must be considered when evaluating constructability and estimating the required construction work zone width. Failure of a pipeline and erosion from discharged fluids may undermine adjacent pipelines. A project currently in design is used to illustrate the design of a new pipeline to be constructed parallel to existing pipelines. The location of the new pipeline and required construction width were an important element of the Environmental Impact Report.

ZONG Qi (2008) has made blasting experiments, and velocity and frequency of
blasting vibration are obtained (See Table 2.).
For rock trench, particle velocity of blasting isn’t greater than 7 cm/s. Based on the
analysis result of peak particle velocity, the minimum safety distance required to
maintain 24m between high pressure gas pipeline and another parallel oil pipeline.
The cathodic protection interference of parallel pipelines. To meet the safety and
environmental needs, the oil/gas pipeline coatings have encountered major
development in the past several decades. From the early coal tar enamel (CTE) and
asphalt enamel and polyurethane (PUR) to three layer PE (3LPE) today, the pipeline
external coatings have evolved with time and with innovation of new materials. With
the development of pipeline external coatings, cathodic protection current density
decreased by nearly 50 times.
When non-joint cathodic protection is adopted, avoiding the cathodic protection
interference is important for adjacent parallel pipelines. Some experimental results
have been acquired as follows.
▪ When the distance of adjacent parallel pipelines is 2m, the cathodic protection
interference is serious.
▪ When the distance of adjacent parallel pipelines increases to 4m, the value of
potential gradient decreases significantly on both sides of pipelines and between the
two parallel pipelines. Furthermore, the value of potential gradient between parallel
pipelines is less than on both sides of pipelines.

orally or in writing, not less than two nor more than 10 working days prior to starting, of
his intent to excavate.
(b) The written or oral notice required in subsection (a) shall contain:
(1) the name, address, and telephone number of the person filing the
notice;
(2) the name, address, and telephone number of the person doing the
excavating;
(3) the anticipated starting date of the excavation;
(4) the anticipated duration of the excavation;
(5) the type of excavation to be conducted;
(6) the location of the proposed excavation; and
(7) whether or not explosives will be used.
