 Developments
in technology continue to make pipeline construction less intrusive
to communities, as well as improve the safety and efficiency of pipeline
operations. The pipeline industry, working with suppliers providing
inspection services, is developing tools and technologies that detect
areas of potential deterioration from dents, corrosion, metal loss,
and cracks on pipelines. Advanced telecommunications and computer
systems continue to improve the monitoring and remote control of the
pipeline. Technology has extended to enhancing the tools pipeline
companies use to maintain the integrity of the system.
More information on the liquid petroleum pipeline industry is continually being developed and added to Pipeline 101. Please visit us often.
