Reference number : GC-2017-Q4-01068, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Liang, Xiaodong (Memorial University of Newfoundland), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Newfoundland and Labrador|Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : The proposed research project is to address a company-specific problem to determine the minimum separation_x000D_
distance between transmission lines and underground pipelines considering negative influences of_x000D_
electromagnetic interference on equipment, personnel and public safety. Although the company has invested_x000D_
significant funding and effort in this area, however, so far, there is no effective guideline to follow regarding_x000D_
this minimum separation distance. An effective solution is urgently needed by the company. This study aims to_x000D_
provide an assessment tool for determination of a minimum separation distance between transmission lines and_x000D_
underground pipelines, and establish a guideline for different types of transmission structures within the_x000D_
company. The research results can be applied directly to the company's current practice, and serve as a_x000D_
guideline for future transmission line route selection. The company will share the results with other Canadian_x000D_
utilities facing the similar issue, which will improve the practice of utility companies Canada wide in this_x000D_
particular area and benefit Canadian customers. The research results will significantly reduce the spending on_x000D_
mitigation effort due to electromagnetic interference between transmission lines and underground pipelines,_x000D_
greatly improve the equipment, personnel and public safety., program purpose french : The proposed research project is to address a company-specific problem to determine the minimum separation_x000D_
