Is it possible to construct the pipeline in Antarctica nowadays?

Major pipelines have been successfully constructed and operated in very hot regions of North Africa, the Middle East, and the United States and in extremely cold regions such as

Siberia, Alaska, and the Canadian Arctic. Someday pipelines may be built and operated in Antarctica. There are fundamental differences between gas and oil pipelines, and the interactions of the two types of pipelines with the surroundings require different design and construction techniques.

  1. Choose the necessary word and read the sentences.

  1. Oil and gas are gases/substances that are readily passed through pipelines/channels.

  1. The first gas pipeline was removed/installed, in Genoa, Italy in 1802 to carry gas for street lightening/lighting.

  2. First more significant/substantial gas pipeline was built in 1891.

  3. It was 120 miles long, and was transporting gas from middle/average Indiana all the way to the Chicago.

  4. After this period very few/a few gas pipelines were built until the end of the Second World War.

  5. During the Second World War great progress/ success in metal characteristics, welding techniques and pipes manu- facturing was achieved/archived, so pipelines manufacture became economically appealing.

  6. Oil was first driven/carried by pipeline in Pennsylvania over a distance of 10 km in 1861.

  7. By 1874 a pipeline 100 km long carried fat/oil into Pittsburgh.

  2. ...which greatly increased the strength of pipes of all sizes.

  3. ...of steel pipe with welded joints.

  1. Read the passage and correct the computer transla- tion of it.

Major innovations since 1950 include introduction of ductile iron and large-diameter concrete pressure pipes for water; use of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe for sewers; use of “pigs” to clean the interior of pipelines and to perform other duties; “batching” of different petroleum products in a com- mon pipeline; application of cathode protection to reduce cor- rosion and extend pipeline life; use of space-age technolo-gies such as computers to control pipelines and microwave stations and satellites to communicate between headquarters and the field; and new technologies and extensive measures to prevent and detect pipeline leaks. Furthermore, many new devices have been invented or produced to facilitate pipeline construc- tion. These include large side booms to lay pipes, machines to drill under rivers and roads for crossing, machines to bend large pipes in the field, and X rays to detect welding flaws.

Головні нововведення, оскільки 1950 включають введення гнучкого заліза і конкретних впливових труб вели- кого діаметру для води; використовування хлористої (PVC) труби polyvinyl для стічних труб; використовування “свиней”, щоб чистити внутрішність трубопроводів і виконувати інші обов’язки; “пакетування” різної нафтової продукції в загальному трубопроводі; додаток захисту cathodic, щоб скоротити корозію і розширити життя трубопроводу;використовування просторових-віку технологій, як наприклад комп’ютери, щоб управляти трубопроводами і мікрохвильовими місцями і супутниками, щоб спілкуватися між штаб-квартирою і областю; і нові технологи і обширні заходи, щоб перешкодити і знайти витоки трубопроводу.

До того ж, багато нових пристроїв було винай­дено або проведено, щоб полегшити конструкцію трубо­проводу. Ці включають великі бічні буми, щоб класти труби, машини, щоб свердлити під річками і дорогами для перетину, машини, щоб зігнутися великі труби в область, і X rays щоб знайти welding дефекти.
