Impacts of a six year old pipeline right of way on Halimolobos virgata (Nutt.) O.E. Schulz (slender mouse ear cress), native dry mixedgrass prairie uplands, and wetlands
DownloadSpring 2016
Reclamation of native prairie ecosystems is of growing importance as they continue to be impacted by anthropogenic disturbances. Since European settlement, Alberta grasslands have declined by 61 %. Grasslands are agriculturally important, act as a carbon sink, and many species depend upon them....

IMPACTS OF DISTANCE TO PIPELINE DISTURBANCE ON MIXED GRASS PRAIRIE AND HALIMOLOBOS VIRGATA (NUTT.) O.E. SCHULZ (SLENDER MOUSE EAR CRESS)
DownloadSpring 2014
Halimolobos virgata (slender mouse ear cress) is an at risk plant species in the Dry Mixed Grass Subregion of Southern Alberta. Little is known about effects of disturbances such as pipelines on Halimolobos virgata and its habitat. Environment Canada recommends a non species specific set back of...

Integrity Assessment of Dents in Pipelines using Finite Element Analysis and Artificial Neural Networks
DownloadFall 2019
Dents are common occurrences along oil and gas pipelines and can be formed due to pipe contact with external forces such as rocks or construction equipment. There are many factors that contribute to the level of integrity concern of a dent including its shape, size, location on the pipe, and...

Fall 2016
Slurry pipelines are widely utilized in most mining operations to transport the raw materials and the tailings. These pipelines typically suffer from high wear rates. For example, in Canada’s oil sands industry, pipeline wear rates of 1 cm/yr are considered representative. To generate and measure...

Investigation of Corrosion and Crack Morphology Behavior under Disbonded Coatings on Pipelines
DownloadFall 2015
Coating disbondment on pipelines is a common phenomenon that leads to exposure of the pipeline metal to the surrounding soil and ground water solutions. The exposure of pipelines to those corrosive environments is associated with development of corrosion and Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) on the...

Fall 2010
Slurry transport is a key material handling technology in a number of industries. In oilsands ore transport, slurry pipelining also promotes conditioning to release and aerate bitumen prior to separation. Reliability of slurry transport pipelines is a major ongoing problem for operating companies...
