The multi-objective optimisation technique utilising genetic algorithms is employed to develop the optimal maintenance strategy for corroding oil and gas pipelines. The objective functions of the optimisation are the maximum annual conditional probabilities of small leak and burst, respectively, of all the pipe joints included in the pipeline segment over a predefined time horizon, and the total present-value cost of corrosion repair. The allowable annual probabilities of small leak and burst, and the annual repair budget are treated as constraints in the optimisation. The proposed optimal maintenance strategy is illustrated using a natural gas pipeline segment consisting of 90 corroding pipe joints. The analysis results indicate that a diverse set of solutions are included in the obtained Pareto front, which allow the decision-maker to select the maintenance plan achieving the desired tradeoff between the reliability and cost. The approach presented in this study can be incorporated in the practical optimal maintenance planning of corroding pipelines subjected to safety and resource constraints.
