As with the subsea award, this award, introduced in 1996, is made annually for the most significant contribution made to land-based pipeline technology or its ancillary apparatus. The objective of the award is similarly to promote the development of new ideas in the general field of land-based pipeline technology.
The Land-based Pipeline Projects Awards were introduced in 2016 to showcase technical expertise, achievement and challenges overcome in delivery of land-based/onshore pipeline projects. Projects may be of any length, any diameter pipe or in any sector, including; renewables, unconventional gas, power and infrastructure. Land-based pipelines are those predominantly operating on land, and not underwater, but can include fresh water lake operations. Land-based pipelines are generally onshore large diameter pipelines and may include outfalls and infrastructure projects.
