Geotextile pipeline-weight design is advanced

Early efforts by Nova to eliminate some of the conservatism in its buoyancy-control design for muskeg-terrain pipelines were hampered by a lack of reliable data on the role of backfill in resisting buoyancy forces. This search for more information prompted a full-scale laboratory testing program. It and the resulting new concept for resisting buoyancy are the subjects of the conclusion of a two-part series.
