| Resource Purpose | A challenge in locating and engineering a pipeline in BC is landslides, and the province has many of them. Stable ground is essential, as the environmental and economic costs of pipeline rupture would be extremely high. The best geologic engineering firms thus are employed to locate and plan safe routes. They attempt to determine where a landslide might happen, how likely it is to happen, how large it could be, how far it might travel, and how deep it might scour. |
