Project Description
Pipeline is a long line of pipes that carry liquids, gases, and slurries. The size of pipeline varies from 2-inch- (5-centimetre-) diameter lines used in oil well gathering systems to 30 feet (9 metres) across in high-volume water and sewage networks. The sections are welded together and sometimes laid underground.
Pipelines are a way of transporting water, natural gas and oil. If you don’t know that they exist, you might guess that they only carry oil or natural gas. But they also carry water. It’s true that the people who build and maintain pipelines usually aren’t famous or famous for anything else apart from keeping us alive on this planet.
Pipelines have been selected for transporting liquids and gases over competing modes such as truck, rail, and air because they are less damaging to the environment, less susceptible to theft than other modes, and more economical, safe, convenient, and reliable than other modes. Although transporting solids by pipeline is more difficult and more costly than transporting liquid or gas by pipeline in many situations, pipelines have been chosen to transport solids ranging from coal and other minerals over long distances or to transport grain, rocks, cement, concrete, solid wastes and pulp over short distances as well as hundreds of other products.
