摘要

The TransCanada Pipelines Ltd. (TCPL) mainline system carries natural gas from the Alberta/Saskatchewan border to delivery points near the Quebec/Vermont border. The system contains pipelines that traverse approximately 4,000 kilometres (2,500 miles) of terrain and delivers about 2,900 Bcf of gas per year. As part of the integrity program this system has been subjected to a geotechnical hazard identification and assessment program over the last several years. The geotechnical hazard assessment process has identified hazardous sites and specific studies at these sites have been undertaken. TCPL has recently begun a transition from performing Hazard Management to an overall Risk Management approach for pipeline integrity. As part of this process TCPL required that a geotechnical risk methodology be developed to analyze the risk posed to the pipeline due to landslides. Therefore a new landslide failure probability estimation process was developed to complete this program. The failure probability estimation process developed considered one geotechnical hazard, a landslide of sufficient size that it would affect the pipeline. The estimation procedure used to assess the various sites was a "quantitative risk assessment procedure" (QRA). The QRA is a quantification of a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA). The QRA process allows assessment and ranking of the likelihood of failure and/or the risks of various components within a system. The QRA methodology is a powerful screening tool that highlights areas of concern at any given site and allows comparison between sites. The landslide failure probability quantified during this process is then comparable to other risks to pipeline integrity. The elemental failure modes for sliding were identified and ranked in the QRA based on the landforms and geological conditions in which the pipeline is located. Two failure modes: a simple slide and earthflow failures were identified and evaluated. The life time failure probability was determined by assessing the potential causes of the slide. Each potential cause or sign that movement was occurring was identified and assigned a subjective probability that the individual cause would trigger a movement large enough to affect the pipeline. This was accomplished subjectively by an expert team assembled for this purpose.
