Book excerpt: "This data report presents the results of a geotechnical and geophysical investigation program conducted during the winter of 2004 at eleven prospective granular borrow and three potential quarry sites in the Gwich'in Settlement Area, located southeast of Inuvik, NWT. The investigation program was carried out in support of engineering for the Mackenzie Gas Project (MGP). This work was undertaken by Nehtruh-EBA Consulting Ltd. (Nehtruh-EBA), a partnership between EBA Engineering Consultants Ltd. (EBA) and the Nehtr'uh Development Group Inc. (Nehtruh), under subcontract to ColtKBR. The geotechnical program was undertaken solely by Nehtruh-EBA. The geophysical program was executed under the terms of shared resource memorandum of understanding between the two prime subcontractors, Nehtruh-EBA and Associated Mining Consultants Ltd. (AMCL). The investigated sites were selected by ColtKBR based on a series of office and field studies. The prospective borrow and quarry sites were investigated between February 6 and April 12, 2004. Boreholes and testpits were advanced for the geotechnical field program. The geophysical field program included natural gamma profiling of boreholes and collecting Resistivity (OhmMapper) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) profiles. The objective of this investigation program was to characterize subsurface soil and ground ice conditions and obtain samples for laboratory index testing. It is understood that the information collected will be used to prepare borrow development plans for possible use in the construction of the MGP pipeline and its facilities. Detailed geotechnical and geophysical field data collected at each investigated site are presented in this report in their respective Site Sections. Of the prospective borrow and quarry sites investigated, Sand and/or Gravel with variable fines (silt/clay) content was encountered at seven sites (2.064BP, 4.026P, 4.038APA, 4.038APB, 4.020P, 4.059AP, and 5.020P). In the remaining sites, predominantly silty Sand, Silt, and/or Clay were encountered. All materials encountered were frozen. Excess ground ice was observed at many sites, particularly in material with high fines content. No groundwater seepage was observed in any of the boreholes or testpits. Table 1 summarizes the geotechnical and geophysical field investigation activities and describes the general soil conditions encountered at each site" -- ASTIS [online] database.

This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decade of the 1970's was the beginning of a long process to bring natural gas discovered in the Mackenzie River Delta to southern markets through a pipeline running down the Mackenzie valley. Mr. Justice Thomas Berger placed a ten-year moratorium on the project to allow for native groups to settle land claims, and to allow for more extensive environmental assessments on the surrounding natural environment and sustainability of the local inhabitants. The Producer Group and an Aboriginal Pipeline Group now plan to have a pipeline up and running by the year 2010. The proposed pipeline will require the use of large amounts of granular resources. Anchor fields, facility and infrastructure sites, and the pipeline are estimated to require 5 million cubic meters of resources. The management of granular resources in the north is vital to ensure present reserves are used to their full potential and correctly allocated to prevent unnecessary waste. This project will help consolidate information, and extract relevant data needed to produce maps and background information for the pipeline corridor. Through digitization one-hundred-thirty-seven (137) digital photographs representing the main pipeline and gathering system were used to extract data pertinent to the construction of the proposed Mackenzie Valley Pipeline, including existing Enbridge pipeline features. Each of the following data features were documented using FDGC metadata standards and corresponding attributes were recorded in an attached database. The database documentation can be viewed by selecting the desired deposit polygon, line, or point using Manifold GIS 6.00. The digitization of the following was prepared using this software package -- ASTIS (online) database.

Book excerpt: "The Mackenzie Gas Project (MGP) ... has been charged with furthering the designs conceived during the Snowy River Study through the regulatory application stage to transport natural gas and related liquids from the Mackenzie Delta to Alberta. ... The Design Concept Selection, Rev. C, October 9, 2003 considered dense phase, single phase and multi phase. ... Based on the additional technical challenges facing the multiphase concept in a remote environment, the single-phase concept was selected as the lead configuration for MGP. The subsequent Mainline Initial Optimization study, Rev. C July 15, 2003, identified the optimum pressure and diameter for the single-phase concept. ... The study concluded that the 18 MPa pressure range will provide the best coverage of the flow ranges and suggested that the NPS 30 is also the most appropriate pipe size. Since a gas pipeline with a design pressure of 18 MPa using NPS 30 coupled with a 10 MPa, NPS 10 NGL pipeline is the lead configuration based on previous work, it was used as the focal point for this study. The study includes a more thorough examination of the system to transport 34,000 E3m3/d and still be flexible to reduce or expand including evaluation of NPS 28 and NPS 32 systems for comparison. The analysis focused on taking the variable flow rate due to seasonal compression power variation into account and selecting the optimum configuration, including identification of station sites for facility siting work. In addition, sensitivity to the use of intermediate heaters as a means to minimize stranded compression power and confirmation of the technical and cost merits of internal coating were also undertaken for both the gas and NGL pipelines. Of the three pipeline sizes that were considered, the NPS 30 with 5 intermediate stations was identified as the lead configuration for the 34,000 E3m3/d target throughput. Station locations that were identified for site selection work using windows of ±2.5 km are KP 133 (Northern Terminus), KP 358, KP 608.9 (Norman Wells), KP 833, KP 1066, and a heater station is located at KP 1259. This system also allows for the greatest flexibility across the desired operating range (24,000 E3m3/d to 54,000 E3m3/d). The corresponding NGL system should consist of an NPS 10 pipeline with no intermediate stations initially. The assumption that the pipeline should be internally coated was validated by both the 5% flow decrease in throughput if the pipe was not internally coated and the requirement to install two additional compressor stations if left uncoated to meet the target flow rates. The use of heaters to boost system capability using stranded compression power has technical merit but the flow rate increase is insufficient to reduce the number of compressor stations. The unheated system already meets the target flow rates of 34,000 E3m3/d so there is little incentive to pursue this concept. ... The resulting lead configuration from this study, which includes identified initial and expansion station locations, is documented in Revision 1 of ColtKBR's Technical Design Basis, April 16, 2003"--Executive summary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The background and history of the various proposals since its inception in the early 1970's for a Mackenzie Valley gas pipeline in the Northwest Territories have been well documented. Within the most recent push of the last few years to get approval and construction started, the Proponent (Including the Producer and Aboriginal Pipeline Groups) have expressed a desire to have a pipeline in place and operating by 2010. As with many ongoing projects in the logistics and planning stages many changes have been made to streamline, simplified, and improve the overall venture. It is these changes and new release of data that was analysed for content relating to requirements of granular resources in terms of when and where, the quantity and quality, and the granular deposits projected to provide these resources. The following data, image manipulation, and data analysis was conducted using a Geographical Information System (GIS) called Manifold GIS Universal Edition 6.5. Preliminary Engineering Alignment Sheets dated February 1, 2005 reveal terrain units along the pipeline right-of-way. The 23 images containing this information were georegistered using a combination of matchline coordinates in degree-minute-second format and visual identification using images from the Mackenzie Gathering System COGOA Volume 4, given in UTM coordinates. The COGOA Volume 4 maps were georeferenced in the report titled ?Summary of Granular Resource Requirements and Availability for the Mackenzie Valley Gas Pipeline Corridor? March 2005 by Raymond Baksi. With the help of the Canadian Spatial Reference System GSRUG's online computation, the degree-minute-second coordinates were converted to UTM coordinates and the Algorithmic method 'Affine' (Scale, shift, rotate) in Manifold was applied to georegister the images. Terrain units depicting sand and gravel within a corridor around the gathering pipelines were digitized into area polygons. One-hundred-seventy-eight (178) in total were identified and logged, 73 of those were unique values. Pits, roads, and water sources were extracted from 1:50000 scale images of the route, georeferenced and provided by Ward Kilby at Cal Data Ltd. There were 126 distinct pits identified, 143 water sources, and 340 road or road segments connecting the pits, water sources, and the pipeline route. Land and water project permit applications for each of the four (4) land claim settlement areas; Gwich'in, Inuvialuit, Sahtu, and Deh Cho Regions were reviewed for mention of borrow materials. A hyperlink document tree was created for each of these applications to guide those interested in borrow material directly to those sections. ... The borrow sites identified in the Environmental Impact Statement Volume 2 Project Description from August 2004 were compared with that of the newly released February 2006 update Mackenzie Gas Project EIS Additional Information for the Joint Review Panel Environmental Inputs and Outputs. This report also estimates the total increase in volume of required granular material at 1.6 million cubic meters (Mm3) for a total of 6.5 Mm3. There were a total of 14 borrow sites added and 22 removed from the official list of granular resources sites. This results in a total of eight (8) less granular sites under consideration for use. Additionally, some borrow sites initially considered primary sites have moved to become secondary sites and some secondary sites moved to primary consideration. This ongoing project has seen many changes over the life of the proposal. As the proponent group moves ever closer to construction, the finer details of the project will be negotiated and finalized. As these decisions are made they should be incorporated into the knowledge base being built by DIAND. It can be reasonably expected that even after construction has commenced there will be further modifications. The Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development in context of granular resources will likely want to stay abreast o f the issues to continue its efforts in granular management. -- ASTIS (online) database.

This book was released on 2011-10-13 with total page 764 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Submarine mass movements represent major offshore geohazards due to their destructive and tsunami-generation potential. This potential poses a threat to human life as well as to coastal, nearshore and offshore engineering structures. Recent examples of catastrophic submarine landslide events that affected human populations (including tsunamis) are numerous; e.g., Nice airport in 1979, Papua-New Guinea in 1998, Stromboli in 2002, Finneidfjord in 1996, and the 2006 and 2009 failures in the submarine cable network around Taiwan. The Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011 also generated submarine landslides that may have amplified effects of the devastating tsunami. Given that 30% of the World’s population live within 60 km of the coast, the hazard posed by submarine landslides is expected to grow as global sea level rises. This elevated awareness of the need for better understanding of submarine landslides is coupled with great advances in submarine mapping, sampling and monitoring technologies. Laboratory analogue and numerical modeling capabilities have also developed significantly of late. Multibeam sonar, 3D seismic reflection, and remote and autonomous underwater vehicle technologies provide hitherto unparalleled imagery of the geology beneath the oceans, permitting investigation of submarine landslide deposits in great detail. Increased and new access to drilling, coring, in situ measurements and monitoring devices allows for ground-thruth of geophysical data and provides access to samples for geotechnical laboratory experiments and information on in situ strength and effective stress conditions of underwater slopes susceptible to fail. Great advances in numerical simulation techniques of submarine landslide kinematics and tsunami propagation, particularly since the 2004 Sumatra tsunami, have also lead to increased understanding and predictability of submarine landslide consequences. This volume consists of the latest scientific research by international experts in geological, geophysical, engineering and environmental aspects of submarine mass failure, focused on understanding the full spectrum of challenges presented by submarine mass movements and their consequences.

This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans' safety, productivity, comfort, and convenience depend on the reliable supply of electric power. The electric power system is a complex "cyber-physical" system composed of a network of millions of components spread out across the continent. These components are owned, operated, and regulated by thousands of different entities. Power system operators work hard to assure safe and reliable service, but large outages occasionally happen. Given the nature of the system, there is simply no way that outages can be completely avoided, no matter how much time and money is devoted to such an effort. The system's reliability and resilience can be improved but never made perfect. Thus, system owners, operators, and regulators must prioritize their investments based on potential benefits. Enhancing the Resilience of the Nation's Electricity System focuses on identifying, developing, and implementing strategies to increase the power system's resilience in the face of events that can cause large-area, long-duration outages: blackouts that extend over multiple service areas and last several days or longer. Resilience is not just about lessening the likelihood that these outages will occur. It is also about limiting the scope and impact of outages when they do occur, restoring power rapidly afterwards, and learning from these experiences to better deal with events in the future.
