CONT

Le dégel de terrain de pergélisol le long de l'emprise du pipeline pourrait contribuer à la perte du remblayage de la conduite et de la force du sol attribuables au dégel de matériaux de remblai riches en glace. Cela pourrait mener à un potentiel accru d'érosion le long de la tranchée effondrée, à l'exposition de la conduite et/ou au déplacement vers le haut de la conduite.
