Cross Country Line
Steel pipelines are used all over the world for cross-country transport of natural gas, crude oil, water, petrochemical, and petroleum products at high pressures over long distances.
Engineering and Installation of Cross Country Pipe Lines form a special branch of piping design and engineering, as it involves many aspects and parameters which are normally faced, in-plant piping systems within the boundaries of a refinery or a chemical/petrochemical plant Special Techniques have to be adopted for design, laying welding/jointing, corrosion protection, testing, commissioning, etc.
The most common line familiar to all is the water line from reservoirs to different consumption points, Unlike water lines, hazardous chemical conveying Pipelines, involve many more stringent precautions in their design and installation. This is mainly due to fire and explosion hazards associated with the oils and chemicals.
