Established in the 1960s, high pressure underground pipelines in Ulsan and Yeosu industrial estate are underground as toxic gas as well as combustible gas that is heavier than city gas and low combustion range. Especially, industrial pipelines occupy more than 20 years old pipes. In this way, the industrial estate pipeline was installed before the introduction of the supervision of construction, However, unlike the city gas pipeline, the pipeline is managed without any legal obligation. In this study, the safety management status of high pressure underground pipelines and urban gas underground pipelines in the industrial estate is analyzed and comparison of laws, extent of damage impact, using the pipe inspection model for pipe inspection of high pressure piping system with the existing piping system. it is intended to cuntribute to improving the safety of industrial estate are underground pipeline.

In present, most of metallic structures(gas pipeline, oil pipeline, water pipeline, etc) are running parallel with subway and power line in seoul. Moreover subway system and power line make a stray current due to electrical corrosion on metallic structures. The owner of metallic structures has a burden of responsibility for the protection of corrosion and the prevention against big accident such as gas explosion or soil pollution and so on. So, they have to measure and analyze the data about P/S(Pipe to Soil) potential due to stray current of subway system. So, we have developed the Real-time Wireless Remote Monitoring System for Stray Current of Subway System. In this system, the permanent buried type reference electrode is necessary. In this paper, results of development about the permanent buried type reference electrode($Cu/CuSO_4$) are presented.

The owner of underground metallic structures (gas pipeline, oil pipeline, water pipeline, etc) has a burden of responsibility for the corrosion protection in order to prevent big accidents like gas explosion, soil pollution, leakage and so on. So far, Cathodic Protection(CP) technology have been implemented for protection of underground systems. The stray current from DC subway system in Korea has affected the cathodic protection (CP) system of the buried pipelines adjacent to the railroads. In this aspect, KERI has developed a various mitigation method, drainage system through steel bar under the rail, a stray current gathering mesh system, insulation method between yard and main line, distributed ICCP(Impressed Current Cathodic System), High speed response rectifier, restrictive drainage system, Boding ICCP system. In this paper, the mechanism of mitigation method of DC stray current for underground metallic structures is described.

In the geothermal power, the geothermal fluid such as water or steam is moved from the ground to turbine a pipeline. Because the geothermal fluid with high temperature contains Cl-and SO4-, It cause to diminish the system lifetime due to the increase in the corrosion of pipeline. In the present work, the characteristics of corrosion and its fatigue of the sus316 which is used in the pipeline are evaluated experimentally. From this study, the following results can be obtained; for the case of the corrosion environment, it is found that the corrosion rate is faster than that of the steam environment by 10 to 30 times, and the corrosion fatigue limit is underestimated compared to that of steam state.

There is an increasing interest in high-performance A/D(Analog-to-Digital) converters for use in integrated analog and digital mixed processing systems. Pipeline A/D converter architectures coupled with BiCMOS process technology have the potential for realizing monolithic high-speed and high-accuracy A/D converters. In this paper, the design of 12bit pipeline BiCMOS A/D converter presented. A BiCMOS operational amplifier and comparator suitable for use in the pipeline A/D converter. Test/simulation results of the circuit blocks and the converter system are presented. The main features is low distortion track-and-hold with 0-300MHz input bandwidth, and a proprietary 12bit multi-stage quantizer. Measured value is DNL=${\pm}$0.30LSB, INL=${\pm}$0.52LSB, SNR=66dBFS and SFDR=74dBc at Fin=24.5MHz. Also Fabricated on 0.8um BiCMOS process.

In case of parallel running with underground gas pipeline and subway, stray current of subway makes a interference on gas pipeline. This interference is one of the reason of gas pipeline corrosion. So, the high speed response rectifier was developed in order to mitigate a interference. In this paper, the field test result of proposed rectifier is presented. The effect of an alternative in stead of the forced drainage system is also presented.

One of the safest and the most economical methods to transfer oil and gas is pipeline system. Prediction and prevention of pipeline failures during its assessed lifecycle has considerable importance. The dropped object is one of the accidental scenarios in the failure of the submarine pipelines. In this paper, using Monte Carlo Sampling, the probability of damage to a submarine pipeline due to a box-shaped dropped object has been calculated in terms of dropped object impact frequency and energy transfer according to the DNV-RP-F107. Finally, Reliability sensitivity analysis considering random variables is carried out to determine the effect intensity of each parameter on damage probability. It is concluded that impact area and drag coefficient have the highest sensitivity and mass and add mass coefficient have the lowest sensitivity on probability of failure.

Since the G20 summit in 2011, South Korea who was dependent on foreign energy needs of 97% receives natural gas from Russia from 2015 to 30 years, but South Korea is a situation of scarce experience and skills of pipeline project in permafrost area. In this study, we kept the target for analyzing the data and information flow of the pipeline projects in permafrost area, and the ultimate goal is set to developing the hierarchy structure of design and construction data for an efficient administration of the project. In order to develop that structure, Configuration Management was introduced and through this method, it is expected to be used to build the overall information management system in O&M phase.
