Abstract
Pipelines are at risk from external threats including third-party intrusion, societal development and ground movement in<br>addition to the ongoing potential for leaks due to corrosion or other causes. Although the appropriate use of internal inspection<br>practices and regular survey of coating and cathodic protection systems will give timely information on any deterioration in<br>pipeline condition, external threats can be unpredictable.
