The operating environment of polyethylene (PE) gas pipeline is complex and changeable. In the process of pipeline design, construction and operation, there are many fuzzy factors inducing pipeline accidents. In the paper, the fuzzy factors causing pipeline accidents were studied and analyzed, and the risk evaluation factors of PE gas pipeline were determined. According to the theory of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation, the mathematical model of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation for PE pipeline was established. In order to pursue as much accurate results of assessment as possible, the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process was used to determine the weight of each index. The safety evaluation grade of the pipeline was given by using the risk matrix method. And then the evaluation system software of PE gas pipeline risk assessment was developed. The software has been used in the risk inspection of PE gas pipeline, which provides the basis for the risk management of the pipeline.

As the natural gas pipeline system in China is extremely complex and busy, people are coming to realize that existing system safety evaluation methods, which are premised on single pipelines or small-scale pipeline networks, are in fact not technical and rational enough for assessing the safety of a large-scale pipeline network. Therefore, ideas for ensuring the reliability of a large-scale natural gas pipeline network have recently been proposed. To calculate system reliability, the primary task is assessing the reliability of individual system components, such as pipelines and gas stations. This paper advances a reliability calculation model based on the Monte Carlo simulation for pipelines with corrosion def ects determined through in-line inspection. An example of the calculation method is provided; in this example, the reliability of a particular PetroChina natural gas pipeline project is ascertained in order to offer some experiences and references for pipeline reliability assessors.

Regular safety inspections are an important guarantee to ensure the high-quality operation of concrete structures of tunnels. The Chinese West-east Gas Pipeline Project is large in scale and complex in construction environment. These tunnels are equipped with gas pipelines, and the concrete structural defects of the tunnels are continuously exacerbated during the long-term operation. There are few studies on the safety evaluation methods of concrete structures of gas tunnels. Based on the characteristics of the operation of the gas tunnels, this paper proposes the establishment of a structural safety comprehensive inspection system from the following seven aspects, that is, the void between the concrete lining and surrounding rock, the strength of the concrete lining, the thickness of the protective layer of the reinforced concrete lining, the carbonization depth of the concrete lining, the deformation of the tunnel section, the cracks in the concrete lining, and the auxiliary concrete structure of the tunnel. In addition, a corresponding quantitative determination method and safety level classification standard are established. Based on the fuzzy mathematics theory and a structural safety comprehensive inspection system, a five-level safety evaluation method for tunnel concrete structures is proposed. Finally, a comprehensive inspection and evaluation were carried out for a tunnel running across the mountain.
