Quantitative risk analysis was carried out on a proposed natural gas pipeline based on preliminary data using the methods and models implemented in the PIRAMID™ software program. The high-risk areas were identified and the main causes of risk were analyzed. Measures to lower the calculated risk levels were developed, which will be taken into consideration in the design and construction of the pipeline.
