We study the generic problem of path optimization for a critical infrastructure link between two locations on the surface of the Earth in the vicinity of earthquakeprone areas. The problem has two (conflicting) objective functions, one for minimizing the construction cost of the link and the other for minimizing the number of potential repairs along the link in the wake of earthquakes. In our model, the Earth's surface is approximated by a triangulated manifold, and ground motion intensity data are used to provide a measure of repair rate. We approach the multi-objective variational problem by first converting it into a single objective variational problem using the weighted sum method. Then, we show that the problem can be further transformed into an Eikonal equation and solved by a computationally efficient

“…A plausible explanation is that a large pipeline-compressor-station project, normally associated with a large pipeline project, can induce a demand that influences market price (e.g., labor salaries and material prices) and increases compressor-station-construction costs further. Expectation of increased pipelineand compressor-station-construction costs can induce an increase in current unit construction costs (Rui et al 2011b). Suppliers would raise prices with expectation for more demand.…”

In addition, literature reviewed also showed that cost overruns exist over time.…”

The intent of this paper is to investigate installed cost overruns of pipeline-compressor-station projects. A total of 220 pipelinecompressor-station projects constructed between 1992 and 2008 have been collected, including material, labor, and miscellaneous, land, and total installed costs; and compressor-station capacity; location; and year of completion. Statistical methods are applied to identify the distribution of cost overruns and overrun causes. Overall average overruns of pipeline-compressor-station material, labor, miscellaneous, land, and total costs are 3, 60, 2, -14, and 11%, respectively. Cost estimations of compressor-station-construction components are biased except for the material cost. In addition, the cost-estimation errors of underestimated compressorstation-construction components are generally larger than those of overestimated components. Results of the analysis show that compressor-station project size, capacity, location, and year of completion have different impacts on individual construction component cost overruns.
