Oil and gas pipelines are vital infrastructure elements that play a crucial role in the distribution of important resources like crude oil, petroleum and natural gas. Countries depend on pipelines for their energy needs and industrial applications. Made of steel or polyethylene and installed with link seals and end seals for the perfect vacuum, these pipes safely transport large quantities of petroleum and crude oil derivatives for residential, commercial and industrial use across large distances.  It’s safe to say that pipelines are the desired way to transport such large quantities of resources. When we compare this mode of transportation to others such as by air, sea or railways, our previous point becomes abundantly clear.  Comparing Pipelines to Regular Types of Transportation Oil and gas pipelines can seamlessly transport huge quantities of resources directly from the wells to the end-user at a much lower cost than other means of transport.  The payload is usually highly volat

Oil and gas pipelines are an integral part of any country's energy infrastructure. These large-scale underground infrastructure installations are what enable several industries to function and produce their output while also being the source of power for several thousands of people. Such large-scale projects require proper and secure installation to deliver the oil and gas supply efficiently. Additionally, a pipeline that is not properly secure could leak, causing potential catastrophic incidents that could lead to a safety hazard and environmental damage. This article explores what goes into installing a pipeline on an industrial scale and how to do it safely.  Pipeline Installation Preparations  A fair amount of preparation goes into pipeline installation . Some of the steps are discussed below. 1. Creating a Staging Area - The first step to an underground oil and gas pipeline installation is to manufacture the pipes. For this, the most important thing is to have a construction
