Q. Is there a pipeline under the ocean?
There is no rig. The gas is extracted directly from beneath the seabed for economic reasons. Building an offshore pipeline 1,200 kilometers long is no easy task. It’s always a special moment when the first length of pipe is laid.
Q. What is the longest underwater pipeline in the world?
Nord Stream

Q. Why pipes are buried underground?
We often bury pipes to protect them and keep them out of the way, but the ground isn’t always that good at holding pipes together. Hey I’m Grady and this is Practical Engineering. They result just from the pressure within a pipe. A fluid’s pressure is its force applied over an area.
Q. How do you protect underground pipes?
Using coatings are one of the easiest ways to protect your pipes against corrosion. Coatings and linings can be used on pipes that are above or underground. They frequently are used in combination with cathodic protection. Some materials that are used to add defense to your pipelines include epoxy and zinc.
Q. What is buried pipeline?
A buried pipeline has better protection than a pipeline in an open trench—burying is generally accomplished by covering the structure with rocks quarried from a nearby shoreline or by covering the pipeline with the soil excavated from the seabed during trenching (backfilling).

Q. How may buried pipeline may protect from corrosion?
What is cathodic protection? It’s a method used to protect buried pipelines from corrosion, which involves attaching sacrificial anodes to a pipeline’s coated steel. Sacrificial anodes are more electrically active than steel, so corrosive currents exit through the anodes rather than the steel.
