Abstract
The transportation of hazardous materials via pipelines is often considered a safer alternative to other
transportation modalities such as railway, road and ship. However, pipelines often cross industrial and highly
populated areas, so that their failure can pose a significant risk to the surrounding environment and the
exposed population: the possible release of flammable and/or toxic materials in such areas can generate
catastrophic events with very severe consequences. A number of accidents have actually occurred in the past
years, and even when no deaths or injured are reported, significant damages to the surrounding environment
often occur. This suggests that, given the extremely wide extension of the network worldwide, and the very
high amounts of transported materials, a careful analysis is still required. In addition, the construction of
pipelines also involves the contribution of expertise from a range of technical areas. As a consequence, the
occurrence of accidents and the impact of their consequences, depend on the combination of a large number
of parameters. In the present paper, an analysis of data relative to pipelines transporting hazardous materials
has been carried out, and the influence of specific issues connected with their type and operation, has been
assessed.
