Since 2006 ail existing hazardous onshore pipelines in France hâve been subjected to a complète safety analysis, according to harmonized criteria. Use of risk matrices leads to an homogeneous level of risk exposure ail along the pipeline route. If population increases in the vicinity of the pipeline, operator has to take risk-reducing measures until acceptable risk level is reached.
