ISO 10903:2025

This document provides requirements and guidance on planning, selecting, and implementing methods and strategies for monitoring geohazards that can interact with pipelines. This document specifies requirements and recommendations for users regarding the development and initiation of monitoring processes throughout the pipeline life cycle, including the following stages: a)       preliminary engineering and route selection phase; b)       detailed design phase; c)        construction phase; d)       operation and maintenance phase. This document also describes the processes and steps for developing a suitable geohazard monitoring program (GHMP). This document applies to geohazard monitoring of new and existing onshore gathering and transportation pipelines and the right-of-way (RoW). This document does not apply to monitoring geohazards that are temporary, such as the stability of spoil piles, temporary cut slopes to facilitate pipeline construction, stability of excavation or trench wall, and access roads.
