摘要

This study documents a series of eight trials of the weld-after backfill (W-A-B) sequence. This sequence of pipeline construction was first used in the late 1980's on a pipeline in Texas. Since then, more than 45 major pipeline projects in the United States have been constructed using W-A-B. These projects included a variety of pipe joint coating materials such as mortar diapers, concrete encasement, tape coatings and heat-shrinkable sleeves. This study focuses on heat-shrinkable sleeves for coating the pipe joint, prior to backfill. A growing practice in steel water pipeline construction entails fitting bell & spigot pipe segments together, installing field joint coatings and backfilling the pipe prior to welding. Welding is then completed from the inside of the pipe after the pipe has been backfilled. Weld-after-backfill has proven to be successful in minimizing the length of open trench, improving project safety and speeding up pipeline laying, resulting in design, economic and safety advantages over traditional steel water pipeline construction methods. These advantages benefit the owner, designer, contractors and suppliers. W-A-B is recommended for projects with lap welded joints, which is the predominant joint design for most water pipeline installations. The welding process, however, produces high temperatures on the pipe wall, which may damage some corrosion coatings. Research by Northwest Pipe, National Welding and Canusa-CPS was completed to evaluate various welding processes, measure temperatures and assess the affects of the W-A-B sequence on exterior field joint coatings. Various heat-shrinkable sleeve-coating systems were tested in order to optimize current practices. This paper describes the W-A-B sequence, explains typical installation and welding processes, provides data from the research and makes recommendations as to best practices when this construction method is used.
