The purpose of this project is to develop a plan and a road map for the development of a reliability-based design methodology for arctic pipelines.  The project considers all relevant loading types, but focuses on frost heave and thaw settlement.  The plan is based on a summary of the state-of-the-art produced by C-FER and a workshop held with participation from the client's experts.
