The focus of this paper is on the implementation and subsequent improvement of a technique for computing AC interference on buried metallic pipelines due to nearby power transmission lines. In order to perform this task, the finite element method (F.E.M.) is employed. After performing a description of the implementation of the classic F.E.M. approach, a hybrid technique designed to reduce the size of the mesh and therefore the computational time is presented. The results obtained with the two approaches are finally compared.
