Section 1-3 :Scope, References and Definitions
Section 1 defines the extent of pipeline systems covered by PD 8010 Part 2, which is little different from BS 8010 Part 3. Note the code does not cover sea outfalls or fluid umbilicals
Sections 2 and 3 cover references and definitions
PD 8010 Slide * of 40
Section 4 : Health, Safety & Assurance
Section 4 gives recommendations for goal setting in terms of
Health, Safety & Environment
Operation and Abandonment Assurance
It defines need for competent personnel (C.Eng or equivalent), need for QA/QC systems, document/records control, a design procedure and a design change procedure during operation.

Section 5 : Fluid Categorisation
Consistent with Part 1 (obviously!) and effectively so with EN 14161
PD 8010 Slide * of 40
Section 6 : Design - Mechanical Integrity
Section 6 provides guidance on:
Pressure definition and pressure design of pipe and components
Stress based design criteria;
Strain based design criteria;
Section 6 : Design and Test Pressure Definition
Pressure
Net Internal Design Pressure
Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure
Recommended back pressure
Distance along pipeline
PD 8010 Slide * of 40
Design Stress Criteria are effectively unchanged from BS 8010 Part 3, as follows:
Section 6 : Stress Based Design Criteria
PD 8010 Slide * of 40
BS EN 14161 allows a design factor up to 0.83 to be used. The design factors recommended for UK use are given. Higher design factors may be used for all or part of a pipeline system, provided that an equivalent level of safety is achieved throughout the system under consideration and across all relevant limit states. A full risk assessment is recommended if higher design factors are used and might be subject to regulatory review
Lower design factors are now extended to include landfalls
While BS 8010 stated consideration should be given to reduction in SMYS for temperatures in excess of 1200C, PD 8010 states that account should be taken of the variation of strength with temperature on the basis of verifiable test data appropriate to the material under consideration.
Seabed design factors now specifically include tie-ins
Section 6 : Stress Based Design Criteria (cont.)
PD 8010 Slide * of 40
Section 6 : Strain Based Design Criteria
Design Strain Criteria are consistent with BS 8010 Part 3. For application of strain based approach the following are required:
Hoop Stress criterion must be met
Plastic component of equivalent strain <0.1%, (ref. state for zero strain is as-built state - post pressure test)
Plastic strain only occurs on first operation, not during subsequent cycles
Do/tnom<60
Welds possess adequate fracture resistance, demonstrated by direct testing or fracture toughness testing and analysis in accordance with B 7448 and 7910
Weld alignment is controlled
Buckling limit states are checked
PD 8010 Slide * of 40
Section 6 : Buckling and Collapse
Buckling and Collapse Criteria are unchanged from BS 8010, (although errors in original formulae corrected!)
PD 8010 Slide * of 40
Section 6 : Fracture and Fatigue
Fracture – Prime means of fracture resistance is by specification of sufficient toughness to ensure running fracture arrest.
Fatigue – A consistent approach with Part 1 has been adopted. Guidance is given for developing methodology with reference to BS 7608 and BS 7910.
PD 8010 Slide * of 40
Section 6 : Pipe-in-pipe, Bundles
Descriptive guidance is given on aspects to be considered in design
(Note – aspects of flexible pipe design, previously included in BS 8010 Part 3, have now been deleted, reference is made to API RP 17B and ISO 13628, (API 17J for flexible risers))
PD 8010 Slide * of 40
Section 6 : Stability, Spanning & Crossings
The basic 2D stability check from BS 8010 Part 3 is retained, with reference made to DNV and AGA for alternative approaches.
Need for spans assessment is recognised, no prescriptive methodology laid down
Crossings – specification of minimum crossing angle of 300 from BS 8010 Part 3 has been omitted
PD 8010 Slide * of 40
Section 7 : Design - Landfalls, risers and tie-ins
Most of the narrative from BS 8010 has been retained,
Additional reference is made to branch connections (tees, Y’s) connectors and to valve selection including actuators
Considerations for pigging are included
Pipeline protection methods are outlined
Reference to the Safety Case Regulations (1996) is included for emergency shut down systems
PD 8010 Slide * of 40
Section 8 : Design - Materials and Coatings
Reference standards for linepipe have been updated including high alloy steels (duplex, superduplex)
Requirements for fracture toughness, crack arrest highlighted
Need to avoid detrimental intermetallic phases (I.e sigma phase) in ferritic/austenitic steels is highlighted.
Recommendations for pipeline components (flanges, bends, valves and fittings) included.
Coatings, including concrete and insulation materials, addressed
PD 8010 Slide * of 40
Section 9 : Design – Corrosion Management
Section 9 gives guidelines for establishing a corrosion management programme including the need for in service assessments and maintenance of corrosion mitigation equipment.
Both internal and external corrosion issues are described.
Reference standards for internal coatings have been updated.
Reference is given to DNV-RP-F103 for cathodic protection design, but with a note that ISO/DIS 155892-01 is in preparation
PD 8010 Slide * of 40
Section 10 : Construction – Fabrication & Installation
The need for establishing safety and construction plans is highlighted and the appointment of ‘competent persons’ to run construction operations. Reference is made to consideration of EIA’s (Environmental Impact Assessment) in advance of construction work.
BS 4515-1 and 4515-2 are retained as reference standards for welding
Guidance on installation by S-lay, towing, reeling and J-lay is provided – the emphasis is on control, planning and management of activities rather than prescriptive criteria
PD 8010 Slide * of 40
Section 11 : Construction – Testing
The basic requirement for a 24-hour pressure test to 90% SMYS or 1.5 x Design Pressure is unchanged from BS-8010 Part 3, i.e., different from the BS EN 14161 proposed 8-hour hold period. (Note this section is identical in the two parts of PD 8010, hence some of the criteria stated are not relevant to practicalities of offshore lines.)
Valves should not be used as end closures unless fully rated to the hydro-test pressure
No specific duration is stated for the hold period prior to commencement of the 24 hour hold period, this will require judgement to allow for residual air to go into solution, temperature stabilisation and time dependent pipe straining
PD 8010 Slide * of 40
Section 11 : Construction – Testing (cont.)
It is recognised that 0.2% allowable air content may be impractical in short sections
The 24-hour hold duration may be reduced for sections of less than 20m3 volume
Leak testing to 110% MAOP is called for, but use of non-tested ‘golden’ welds is accepted subject to specific criteria. The number of these should be minimised.
The duration of leak testing is not specified, (previously advised as 3 hours typically). It should be sufficient to ensure that all potential leak paths can be verified.
PD 8010 Slide * of 40
Section 12 : Pre-commissioning and Commissioning
Environmental considerations for disposal of hydro test water are addressed
Options for drying pipelines, as necessary are included, namely
Air drying
Glycol/methanol swabbing
Vacuum drying
Requirements for product introduction and start-up are highlighted, in particular the need to ensure operating procedures and safety systems are in place and that formal handover of operational responsibility is made
PD 8010 Slide * of 40
Section 13 : Operation, Maint. and Integrity Assurance Man.
This section has been introduced as little guidance was previously given in BS 8010 Part 3. This was more aimed at design and construction.
It draws on and expands on the guidance given in BS EN 14161.
It states the need for the following plans and gives recommendations for items that should be included, namely:
Integrity Management System
Section 13 : Operation, Maint. and Integrity Assurance Man.
Emphasis is placed on implementation of the following:
Permit-to-work Systems
Active maintenance of records
The importance is noted of a control plan for any in-service changes in operating conditions. A full update of appropriate design documentation is recommended.
Above all, the criticality of an ‘active’ Integrity Assurance Programme is highlighted, especially with regard to changes in the design condition.
PD 8010 Slide * of 40
Section 14 : Abandonment
Reference is made to the Pipelines Act (1962) and Pipeline Safety Regulations (1996) “in respect of general duties to preserve safety throughout the lifetime of the pipeline (including abandonment)”
The onus remains with the Operator to ensure an an abandoned line remains safe and that accurate records are maintained.

Appendix A : Quality Assurance
Appendix A gives recommendations on content of Quality plans for Design, Material Procurement and Construction Phases
PD 8010 Slide * of 40
Appendix B : Records and Document Control
Appendix B outlines typical deliverables documentation for the following areas of a pipeline system:
Design
Procurement
Construction
Appendix C : Hazards in Pipeline Design
Appendix C provides information on potential Hazards of which Pipeline System Design should take account, both in terms of internal fluid (gas or liquid phase).
It lists a number of external hazards for consideration but is not meant to be an exhaustive list!.
PD 8010 Slide * of 40
Appendix D : Safety Evaluation of Pipelines
Appendix D provides guidance on risk assessment of pipeline systems
It recommends systematic hazard identification, consequence analysis.
Acceptance criteria need to be established and mitigation measures implemented for unacceptable levels of risk.
Systematic risk assessments are required which should be maintained and updated through the pipeline lifetime.
PD 8010 Slide * of 40
Appendix D : Safety Evaluation of Pipelines (cont.)
HSE levels of individual risk are defined as follows:
For risks identified in the tolerable range, mitigation measures should be implemented to reduce the risk ‘as low as reasonably practical’ (ALARP)
Criterion
Broadly acceptable
Appendices E - F
Appendix E gives guidance on factors to be considered in routing pipelines and and also for collection of survey data, both geophysical and environmental.
Appendix F (effectively reproduced from BS 8010 Part 3) defines different types of load
Appendix G reproduces the buckling checks from BS 8010, but with a couple of arithmetical corrections noted which had lain dormant since publication!
The need to address upheaval buckling is also included, but only in a qualitative manner, recognising the complexity of the analysis.
Appendix H retains the basic approach to derivation of appropriate wave/current conditions and for determining environmental loads, I.e. based on well used methodologies.
The use of alternative approaches, (such as DNV), is also recognised.

PD 8010-2 : One Year On….
To date, from PSE/17/2 committee viewpoint, there has been little feedback from the industry!
This either implies acceptance and approval of the code requirements, or apathy!
PD 8010 Slide * of 40
PD 8010-2 : One Year On….
Issues raised to date :
Strain based design criteria (unchanged from BS8010 Part 3) are dated and perhaps don’t reflect current state of the art.
Guidance and applicability to HP/HT pipelines is limited, since a strict ASD approach is limited.
Applicability for deep water applications is limited
Hydrotesting criteria are constraining, (especially in regard to HP/HT applications)
There is a never ending battle in keeping cross references up to date!
PD 8010 Slide * of 40
PD 8010-2 : Future Plans
There are no immediate plans for issue of updates, but the committee remains committed to responding to industry feedback
This involves dealing with specific issues raised and, if necessary, issue of amendments and clarifications (none identified to date)
Long term, the committee may review the structure of the code and expand specific topics, including pipeline operational issues, adoption of limit state design techniques and continued harmonisation with other international standards
PD 8010 Slide * of 40
Close
BS 8010 Part 3 was never significantly broke, so didn’t require significantly fixing!
The introduction of BS EN 14161 has nevertheless necessitated a revision of the widely accepted and respected British Standard.
This permits engineers to continue to design, construct and operate pipelines in a safe manner.
The industry has accepted the implementation of PD 8010-2 as it has allowed ‘business as usual’ to continue!
Nevertheless the committee recognises the need to reflect industry needs and will continue to review and update the code as required.
