API 1169 UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT
Answers
Definition for Active Excavation Area Is the area where the edge of the disturbance is within 25 feet of the centreline of
the existing facilities.
Definition for Crossing agreement Is the agreement entered into between the owner of the existing facility and the
crossing company installing the new facility to specify the rights and obligations
of the parties during the crossing Construciton.
Define Crossing clearance distance Is the vertical separation between the existing pipeline and facilities and where
the new pipeline is being installed. The recommended crossing clearance
distance between the new pipeline and the existing facilities is two feet (24"). The
minimum distance is one foot (12"). The new pipeline should be installed at a level
depth across the ROW, if practicable.
Define Crossing Company Is the entity that intends to install, operate, maintain a new pipeline that crosses
existing pipeline facilities. The Crossing company may designate a third-party or
parties to perform the task necessary to accomplish a Crossing but remains
responsible for the work performed by such third parties.
Define Crossing Construction Is the construction of a new natural gas pipeline facility by Crossing company that
will cross owners existing natural gas pipeline(s). The extent of the crossing area is
established by the beginning and ending of the encroachment area. Crossing
construction begins with the first disturbance of soil in the encroachment area
and ends when the ROW has been restored.
Define crossing plan Is the plan devise between the owner and crossing party to specify the details
and provisions under which the crossing construction show occur. Depending on
the size the nature of the crossing across and plan should be simple as an
exchange of the mechanical requirements and an email agreement to follow these
requirements. The more complex jobs the crossing plan should include topics
such as cathodic protection requirements, a blasting plan (if any), support and
backfill requirements, and erosion control.
Define Designated Contact Is the singular point of contact identified within the company of the crossing
company and the owner who has the responsibility to communicate about the
safely managed crossing. There will be a cross and Company designated contact
and an owner designated contact.
Define Due Diligence Corridor Is the distance equal to the width of the proposed survey Corredor +50 feet on
each side of the crossing construction involving a survey Corredor. The survey
Corredor is the quarter width typically use for biological surveys, for example.
, Define Encroachment Area Is the area where the ground disturbance occurs within 50 feet of the centerline
of the existing facility or within the existing facilities ROW or easement, whichever
is greater. Additional distance may be required for the constructions such as
topography side-hill lays, catholic operating equipment, and topography.
Define Excavation Tolerance Zone Is the area in which soil must be removed by non-mechanical means such as
(hand digging, pot-holing, or hydro-Vac) rather than mechanical means. It is an
area within 2 feet of the existing facilities or the distance mandated by state law
where applicable, whichever is greater.
Define Owner Is the entity that owns our operates the existing pipeline facilities. The owner may
designate a third-party or parties to perform the tasks necessary to enable a safe
crossing of its facilities by crossing company but remains responsible for the work
performed by such third-party.
Define Right of way ROW Is the property in which a pipeline company and a landowner both have legal
interest. The ROW is usually established through a written document known as an
easement. The easement provides that each entity has the right to be there
although each is permitted different uses of the land. Pipeline companies are
typically granted permission to install operate and maintain a buried pipeline and
sometimes, with surface apparatuses across a certain portion of land without
interference with its rights to do so.
It is who's responsible to gain access for the purpose of Crossing company
conducting a survey of facilities within the Encroachment
Area?
Examples of information discussed and exchange Placement of the ROW, Location of the existing of proposed pipelines within the
between Designated contacts include? ROW, the types of easement (exclusive, or open and undefined), construction
methods and practices, unique landscape, terrain, or environmental situations,
separation distances, restrictions on type in location of heavy equipment
crossings, any potential pipeline integrity concerns, responsibility for cathodic
protection after installation, the ground disturbance timing.
The cross company will identify areas where blasting will 300' (the members recognize this guideline differs from the one contained in the
be used along the route within how many feet of the API's "Guidelines for Property Development" that specifies a hosting plan is
existing facilities to be crossed? required when blasting will occur within a (1/4) mile of existing facilities.
To eliminate potential confusion caused by lack of a Positive Response
response to a one call, the owners designated contact
will notify the cross companies designed with a ?
indicating either that there is no conflict or the line will be
marked.
The owner Well cause it's facilities within the 50'
encroachment area to be marked using appropriate line
locating message that will ensure the accurate placement
of the markers. Markers will be placed at a maximum
spacing not exceeding?
