Abstract
Natural gas has been discovered in Canada's north, and a pipeline is being designed to bring it to markets in the south. The line will cross regions of unstable terrain, and may be required to withstand substantial deformation from ground movement. Prevention of fracture under these conditions is an engineering challenge. The main features of the fracture control plan being developed will be discussed, in particular the prevention of girth weld rupture and the arrest of running fractures. © Springer Science + Business Media B.V. 2009.
