... it is common for pipelines in northern settings to experience ditch settlement, and this is expected along the pipeline right-of-way in permafrost and organic terrain. Based on the experience of other northern pipeline projects, local settlement of the pipeline ditch immediately following construction can be greater than general right-of-way settlement.

[...] il est courant pour les pipelines des milieux environnants nordiques de présenter un tassement de tranchée, et on s'attend à cela le long de l'emprise du pipeline dans le pergélisol et le terrain organique. Selon l'expérience d'autres projets de pipelines nordiques, le tassement local de la tranchée du pipeline immédiatement suivant sa construction peut être supérieur au tassement général de l'emprise.
