Chapter 3.
ENSURING SAFETY FOR GAS WORKS
Article 10. Regulation on distance between pipelines
1. The minimum distance between 02 pipelines is the distance on the ichnography between two nearest edges of pipe including:
a) Two underground gas pipelines running parallel.
b) Two gas pipelines running in parallel, there is an underground pipeline and an open pipe.
c) Two open gas pipelines running parallel (no differentiation of type of pipeline) with level of risk must meet standards of risk as prescribed;
d) Two gas pipelines are designed and performed, the distance between them can be lowered maximally but must meet standards of risk as prescribed;
e) Distance between two open pipe sections in the scope of valve stations, shuttle launching and receiving station must not be less than the distance between them before going to the stations.
f) For crossing pipelines, the safe distance is determined by the front elevation.
2. Safe distance between pipelines is prescribed in the Appendix II issued together with this Decree.
Article 11. Safe distance of gas pipeline passing adjacent objects
Organizations and individuals determine the safe distance of the gas pipeline through adjacent objects specified in Appendix II issued together with this Decree.
Article 12. Ensuring the safety of pipeline in the power grid corridor
For pipes in the corridor grid, organizations and individuals shall comply with the provisions of the law on electricity to ensure pipeline safety.
Article 13. Safe distance by the front elevation from the pipe top to other works for pipeline performed by the Horizontal Directional Drilling - HDD
Organizations and individuals shall determine the safe distance by the front elevation from the pipe top to other works for pipeline performed by the Horizontal Directional Drilling – HDD as prescribed in Appendix II issued together with this Decree.
Article 14. Safe distance for processing plant, liquefied gas storage, liquefied gas products and port of gas import and export, gas distribution station, valve station and shuttle launching and receiving station
1. Organizations and individuals shall determine the safe distance for processing plant, pressure and gas storage, gas products and port of gas import and export, gas distribution station, valve station and shuttle launching and receiving station as prescribed in Appendix II issued together with this Decree.
2. For gas cold storage, organizations and individuals shall develop safe distance on the results of quantitative assessment of risks and submit it to the Ministry of Industry and Trade for consideration and approval and determination of the safe distance of these works.
Article 15. For part of open pipe
In case the whole or part of the open gas pipeline on the ground, the organizations and individuals shall apply the safe distance corresponding to part of that open pipe and strengthening technical measures in accordance with Article 24 of this Decree.
