Abstract
Geothermal surface facilities, such as steam gathering systems and geothermal power plants, are exposed to a number of unique hazards that present risk to the safety of people and to the environment. An increased level of construction hazard may be present, particularly for the fluid gathering system, which may be spread out over a wide area of often challenging terrain. In a general sense
