Road crossings on Pipelines

Boxculverts

Surveying the profile
Earthworks
Preparring the site

Surveying for proper topographical elevation so that, the stress imparted is evenly & safely transferred on pipeline. Loads are basically, the earth movements, vehicular loads & the cover of earth. Adequate stress relieving measures are taken, by providing the pipeline supports with required span of interval & depth from the sub-grade of highways.

Formworks
Pipeline anchored
Pipeline Support

Adequate clearance are provided (API 1102 & ASME B31.4 - Pipe hangers & free span). Form-works supporting the pipeline are seen here.

Civil works underway
Boxentry
Preparring for Concrete

Besides Cased & Uncased pipelines are constructed as per standards, at times, the pipeline operator are forced to have box culverts. Even though, the ROW is well planned & technically thought out, prior to construction. The fast development of a country / city demands work close to pipeline operations. Keeping the emerging trends in development of a Nation, pipeline are better protected to serve the intended purpose , by carefully executing the projects by the approved standards.
