Gas pipelines are large tubes designed to transport natural gas from production sites to consumers. They are typically made of steel or plastic and can stretch for thousands of miles. These pipelines are essential for delivering energy to homes, businesses, and power plants, ensuring a steady supply of gas for heating, cooking, and electricity generation. The construction and maintenance of gas pipelines involve careful planning and safety measures to prevent leaks and accidents. Regulatory agencies oversee these operations to ensure compliance with safety standards. Additionally, natural gas is often transported through compressor stations that help maintain pressure and flow along the pipeline.
