No clear relationships emerged between soil Orders, zones, or soil parent materials and the effect of pipeline construction on soil compaction. Soil moisture conditions appear to be more important.
At each of the fifteen 1989 study areas and at each of the eight 1988 study areas soil strength was monitored using a cone penetrometer in 15 cm depth increments to a depth of 52.5 cm.

Available information indicates that overstripping and subsequent replacement of topsoil can produce horizon characteristics similar to plow depth characteristics resulting from cultivation
The Canadian Fire Weather Index (FWI) system, even though originally developed and calibrated for an upland Jack pine forest, is used globally to estimate fire danger for any fire environment. However...
Successful reclamation of a pipeline right-of-way is contingent upon the proper material handling procedure, especially for topsoil conservation. NOVA's practice of topsoil conservation is discussed...
On September 20, 2012, NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. (NGTL) received approval for the Leismer to Kettle River Crossover Project. Approximately 63 km of this pipeline will be constructed within the...

Compare vegetative productivity, plant species composition and animal utilization on pipeline right-of-way to that of the adjacent native grassland. Field assessments were conducted over 4 years
The OPtical TRApezoid Model (OPTRAM) is a physically-based approach for remote soil moisture estimation. OPTRAM is based on the response of short-wave infrared (SWIR) reflectance to vegetation water...
Project Description: Biigtigong Nishnaabeg has developed a (draft) caribou Stewardship Plan for its traditional territory, which includes a portion of the Lake Superior Caribou Range and the...
Study concentrated on the well-documented 1981 right-of-way, and compared it to the oldest trench, installed in 1957, and to the undisturbed adjacent mixed prairie
NOVA, AN ALBERTA CORPORATION embarked on a research and development project approximately one and one-half years ago to develop a machine capable of stripping frozen topsoil . The result was a...
Objective was to evaluate several pipeline topsoil stripping depths to determine whether they result in land capability equivalent to that of adjacent forested lands broken for cultivation
