Abstract The safe operation of gas pipeline is related to the liveihood of people, in the process of operation, many factors will cause pipeline failure, leakage and accidents and thus impair people’s well-being and property safety. This paper puts forward the transient electromagnetic method for in-service detection of municipal buried gas pipeline, mainly introduces the principle of transient electromagnetic method and the factor analysis of pipeline failure, and comprehensively analyzes the problems existing in the application of transient electromagnetic method in in-service detection of municipal buried gas pipeline combined with two examples of gas pipeline detection. The result shows that transient electromagnetic method is practical in the detection of municipal buried gas pipeline, which can better distinguish corrosion thinning and interference, and provide reliable theoretical data basis for in-service safe operation detection and maintenance of municipal buried gas pipeline.

Leakage of the heat distribution pipeline will seriously affect the safety of residents and cause economic losses. This paper presents the transient electromagnetic method (TEM) for detecting the corrosion of buried heat distribution pipeline, which mainly introduced the principle of the TEM to detect the pipeline and the general detection method. Combining with an instance of corrosion detection of buried heat distribution pipeline in a certain street in China Hohhot, the detection results were analyzed and the feasibility of this method was proved through excavation. The results show that the TEM can detect the uniform corrosion distribution of buried metal pipeline and it’s effective and practical for detecting the buried heat distribution pipeline. The TEM could provide a new method for guaranteeing the safe operation of the heat distribution pipeline.

A coal mine in Datong is an integrated mine. At present, there is goaf in the upper and lower part of the mining coal seam. There is a lot of ponding in the goaf, which has great potential safety hazards for production. In order to find out the scope and location of ponding in goaf, the comprehensive geophysical exploration method combining transient electromagnetic method and high-density resistivity method is used to carry out the research. Firstly, the time-base, turn-off time, receiving delay, current, superposition times, and other parameters of the instrument are tested on the surface of known goaf to obtain the best instrument parameters, and the parameters are used to verify the feasibility of the research scheme; then, the transient electromagnetic method is used for large-area exploration on the surface of the mine, the suspected goaf ponding area is found through comprehensive analysis, and the high-density resistivity exploration is arranged in the suspected goaf ponding area. According to the obtained results, the scope and location of the goaf ponding area are accurately located through comprehensive analysis. The results show that there are two goaf ponding areas in the exploration area, which are located above the 8# coal seam currently mined; the range and location of goaf ponding area can be accurately obtained by using the comprehensive geophysical method of high-density electrical method and transient electromagnetic method. This method can provide reference for mine water prevention and control in Datong area and has great practical significance to ensure coal mine safety production.

Near-source electromagnetic technology has been developed and applied in the exploration of petroleum, metallic ore, coal, and engineering geology due to its high efficiency, high detection accuracy, and deep depth of investigation. In this paper, research and applications of the frequency-domain electromagnetic sounding method (FDEM), wide-field electromagnetic method (WFEM), modified central-loop transient electromagnetic method (TEM), and short-offset grounded-wire TEM (SOTEM) with obvious near-source characteristics, were reviewed and analyzed. From the 1960s to 1990s, the FDEM method and equipment were extensively developed in China. These methods have played important roles in the exploration of coal resources. Based on controlled source audio-frequency magnetotelluric (CSAMT) and FDEM methods, a new method has been developed by deriving a new expression to calculate apparent resistivity. This method, which is referred to as WFEM, has been studied, applied, and received great attention in China. To increase work efficiency and reduce the influence of local transverse anisotropy on the detection processes, a modified central-loop TEM detection technology based on the central loop transient electromagnetic method was developed in China. The advantages of SOTEM in near-source surveys with high resolution and increased depth detection stimulated academic research interest to further develop grounded-wire TEM techniques.
