Application of Plastic Tape to NATURAL GAS PIPELINE

Abstract

The American Louisiana Pipe Line Co. as part of its overall 1,200‐mile project began construction of the 22‐in. tie line extending from Defiance, Ohio, to Bridgman, Michigan, thus effecting a tie‐in with its affiliate company, Michigan Wisconsin Pipe Line Co. The construction of this line was begun early in September 1956 and was completed by November 15, 1956. This segment of the 22‐in. line was 122 miles in length and represented the first large‐diameter line to be completely protected by the use of plastic tape, thus setting a precedent in the field of protective coatings for large‐diameter pipe.
