| Abstract | Unprecedented flooding in Narmada River in August 2013 caused massive bank erosion at the pipeline crossing location leading to snapping of three pipelines and exposing few others except Reliance Gas Transportation Infrastructure Limited (RGTIL’s) EWPL. All these pipelines were laid by conventional trenchless HDD method wherein the landfall point was located at a relatively safe distance from the bank line. The current velocity at the crossing location being higher during floods coupled with weak bank strata, suitable and tangible measures were required to be taken to protect the pipeline from the shore line to the land fall point in the event of reoccurrence of such an incident. The depth profile of EWPL pipeline from the shore line to the landfall point varied from −18 metre to −3.5 metre from the existing ground level which prompted RGTIL to neglect conventional methods like Pipe anchoring and Installation of rock filled gabions involving massive excavations which could have further destabilized the already fragile bank. In view of the prevailing soil conditions and construction difficulties associated with it, RGTIL adopted an innovative method of Installation of Sheet piles on the upstream and downstream of the pipeline to retain the soil around the pipeline and thereby preventing its exposure. Sheet piles are generally used as temporary structures to retain soil for facilitating deep excavations, as retaining system for large waterfront structures etc. These were perhaps never used in India earlier for any pipeline protection works. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
