Holistic Approach for Managing and Mitigating Interference on Metallic Pipelines in Shared Utility corridor

The rapid integration of renewables and the drive towards net zero are accelerating transmission network upgrades, often within shared corridors that co-locate overhead lines, pipelines, and other utilities. While this approach optimises land use, it introduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) risks for metallic pipelines through capacitive, inductive, and conductive coupling. Unmanaged EMI can lead to AC corrosion, hazardous touch voltages, and operational safety concerns-issues amplified by voltage uprating and higher current flows.
