During 2014 numerous high pressure natural gas pipelines were in preliminary to detailed design phases with the intent to transport natural gas from northeast British Columbia to liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities on the Pacific Ocean coast.Once the natural gas was liquefied, the LNG would be exported to world markets in Asia and elsewhere.The current total potential throughput capacity of all pipeline projects is more than 2.8× 108 m3 per day (10 Bcf/day).This paper discusses the natural hazard aspects of the various pipeline projects planned for central British Columbia.Natural hazards include mass wasting processes such as landslides, rockfalls, debris flows and avalanches;seismic processes such as active faults, strong ground motion, liquefaction and lateral spreading;hydrotechnical hazards such as erosion, scour and channel avulsion;and volcanic processes.The identification of these hazards was based on a combination of desktop studies, field reconnaissance, close ground inspection and intrusive investigations.The various hazards are addressed in routing and design using a variety of mitigations including avoidance, enhanced design including deeper burial, heavy wall pipe, high strain capacity pipe,slope management and others.The hazards are assessed using a hazard assessment process to quantify the baseline hazard and the post-mitigation hazard.
