Agenda Item 7
Minute Reference 22047
Response from Kier Dawson at Anglian Water regarding answers to questions from Councillors at the meeting on the 11th January.
The bullet points below are answers to the questions raised by councillors about any potential flood risk for the new Lincoln to Grantham pipeline.
• The pipes are designed to last more than 120 years. They are assembled as a continuous welded steel pipeline with a three-layer polyethylene coating and a cathodic protection system. These are designed to manage corrosion on the pipeline, prolonging its life and reducing the risk of failure. The pipeline pressures are also managed by a supervisory control system to not exceed the system capacity.
• Using the relevant design parameters for the location (the area around Oasby), the engineering team estimate the probability of failure to be very low to remote. Furthermore, the typical failure mode for welded steel pipelines, albeit remote, are pinhole leaks (resulting from corrosion), which are not likely to have a significant impact on flows into the beck.
• One of the councillors raised the possibility of a service strike causing a burst. That is a possibility, but as it is a random event it’s not possible to calculate/estimate any potential damage to pipes or impact on the beck.
• Anglian Water don’t carry out specific risk assessments for pipelines of this type when it is sited more than 1km from a village, but a full Flood Risk Assessment for the entire section of pipeline was submitted to the local authorities along the route (including South Kesteven) as part of the planning application/Environmental Statement on February 7th. I’m afraid it hasn’t yet been uploaded by the local authorities to their planning portals. Once it has, I’ll share the link with you, as that will give further detail about our plans and the methods, etc, behind our decisions.
