      <title>WHY MARINE PIPE-LAYING IS EXPENSIVE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/19518</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Cost estimates filed with the U.S. Federal Power Commission show that marine pipeline construction is about twice as expensive as for comparable projects on land.  This is illustrated with a recent job by Grayco Marine Corp. for Tennessee Gas Pipe Line Co. involving 33 mi of 12 through 26 in. natural gas lines.  The varying size was a costly feature of the project; the contractor had to do three separate rigging jobs on the lay barge for 12 in., for 16 in., and for 26 in. pipe.  The line ran through bay and marshland from the shoreline of LaFourche Parish, Louisiana, into the Gulf of Mexico.  Construction details are listed.]]></description>

      <title>GREAT STRESS PLACED ON SAFETY IN PIPE LINE CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/19627</link>
      <description><![CDATA[With more and more safety regulations being issued by the U.S. Office of Pipeline Safety, greater emphasis than ever before is being placed on safe procedures in all phases of pipeline engineering and construction and in pipeline operations.  Some sound recommendations for pipeline contractors issued by the Pipe Line Contractors Association and the Distribution Contractors Association during the past year are listed.]]></description>

      <title>WORLD'S FIRST IRON ORE SLURRY LINE IS COMPLETED</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/19414</link>
      <description><![CDATA[It takes about 14 hours for the slurry, which has a solids content of about 60%, to travel through the 53 mi 9 in. pipeline from the concentrating plant to the pelletizing plant located at Port Latta on Tasmania's North coast in Australia.  The pumping station at the feed end of the pipeline, 90% of which is buried, is equipped with four 600 hp positive displacement pumps.  The iron ore concentrate, pulverized to the consistency of talcum powder and mixed in a slurry, is about twice the weight of water.]]></description>
