Description:

The report looks at the problem of damage to underground facilities caused by excavation and related activities and the efforts that have been made in recent years to limit and control it through laws, regulations, and damage prevention programs, such as one-call systems. The emphasis and focus of the study is on outside forces damage to U.S. natural gas pipelines, whose safe performance is the regulatory responsibility of the U.S. Department of Transportation. Outside forces damage is the most important cause of U.S. gas pipeline accidents. To help develop a better understanding of outside forces damage and the impact of damage prevention programs on it, a statistical regression model of the level of outside forces incidents faced by gas distribution system operators participating in one-call systems, the most important type of damage prevention program in operation in the U.S., was specified and estimated.
