Prioritizing the pipeline maintenance approach using Analytical Hierarchical Process

Abstract - There are a number of cases reported for pipeline failures both in onshore and offshore situation. In order to minimize such failure, there is a need to clearly understand the failure mechanisms, governing factors and further analysis of data can determine the cause and extent of failur...

From the analysis of Indonesian pipeline, failure due to system operation involved the highest risk factor i.e. 34.7%; other factors are design index, maintenance, and third party index. 2010-03 Article PeerReviewed application/pdf http://eprints.utp.edu.my/2962/1/paper_Nasir_Shafiq_pdf.pdf Shafiq, N.
