MAINTENANCEIt is K. Crowngold LLC policy to continually monitor the integrity of its pipeline network. To this end, an internal inspection tool commonly known as an Intelligent Pig is utilized. The instrument uses the magnetic stray flux principle to determine and record any possible areas of metal loss due to corrosion and/or other phenomenon. The results of a recent Intelligent Pig survey indicate that the pipeline is generally in a good condition. The pipelines are also cathodically protected against electrolytic corrosion. Monthly helicopter inspections are carried out to ensure that the servitude are free of encroachments and that no wash always loss of cover over the pipe has occurred. Concrete markers are installed along the pipeline route to ensure that the precise position of the buried pipe is known and coordinates are captured on the GIS. The registered servitude generally embrace the right for K. Crowngold LLC to lay, maintain and operate the said pipelines. The servitude are registered against each property title deed. The landowners that were compensated at the time of expropriation generally retain the use of the land for agricultural and other shallow surface and non-permanent structures. This allows for unobstructed access to the pipeline at all times.
