The Alaskan oil pipeline is a 48" pipe that runs 800 miles from the Alaskan North Slope (where the oil is removed from the ground) to Valdez (where it can be loaded on ships year around because the bay at Valdez doesn't freeze over in winter).
To protect the environment along the route of the Alaskan pipeline, several precautions have been implemented, including the use of elevated structures to allow wildlife movement and the installation of insulation to minimize heat transfer to the surrounding permafrost. Additionally, extensive environmental impact assessments were conducted prior to construction, leading to the establishment of spill response plans and regular monitoring of the ecosystem. The pipeline is also designed with advanced leak detection systems to quickly identify and address any potential environmental hazards. These measures aim to minimize disruption to the fragile Alaskan ecosystem.
The Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) primarily uses 48-inch diameter pipes for the majority of its length. However, the pipeline also includes sections with smaller diameters, such as 14-inch pipes at pump stations. The design accommodates the transportation of crude oil from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez, ensuring efficiency and safety in harsh Alaskan conditions.
The CIRI foundation works with Native Alaskan people to help promote self-development and economic self-sufficiency. The foundation was established in 1982 by the Cook Inlet Region Inc.
Contrary to popular opinion, exactly zero species have become endangered due to or related to the pipeline.
