Pipes. It is used for alot of underground storm, sewer or freshwater pipes by cities.
Underground pipes are commonly used to circulate water or air for geothermal energy production. This renewable energy harnesses the Earth's natural heat, utilizing the stable temperatures found below the surface to heat or cool buildings efficiently. The circulating fluid absorbs heat from the ground in the winter and releases it back into the ground in the summer, making it an effective and sustainable energy solution.
It depends on the material of the pipes
Copper is used as hot water pipes because the copper will not corrode when the hot water goes through the pipes
Iron rusts easily when combined with water, and drain pipes have water flowing through them. If iron was used, the pipes would rust within a few days.

Common materials used for underground drainage pipes include PVC (polyvinyl chloride), HDPE (high-density polyethylene), and concrete.
Alpha particles are simple helium nuclei, and form the bulk of ionizing radiation. However, since alpha particles are much larger and heavier than beta radiation (electrons) and gamma radiation (photons), they are easily blocked by lightweight solids, such as paper. Therefore, they would be a poor means of detecting underground leaks in pipes, since they would not travel well through dense ground or metal.
Infrared radiation can penetrate the ground to some extent, but it's not typically used for imaging objects deep underground. It is more commonly used in surface-level applications like thermal imaging of buildings or detecting underground pipes and cables close to the surface. Other technologies like ground-penetrating radar are better suited for deep subsurface imaging.
Underground pipes are used to circulate water or air to produce geothermal energy. It is thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth.
They are called gas lines.
Groundwater is the term used to describe water that fills in cracks and spaces within underground soil and rock layers.
Underground pipes are used to circulate water to produce geothermal energy. Geothermal energy is extracted from the heat stored beneath the Earth's surface, usually by circulating water through underground pipes to capture this heat and convert it into usable energy through power plants.
Sonar on land can be used for detecting buried objects such as pipes, cables, or archaeological artifacts, mapping underground structures like caves or tunnels, and analyzing the composition of soil layers for geological surveys or environmental assessments.
Victaulic products have a long history of being used on underground piping systems.
Pipes in cliffs are typically used for ventilation or draining purposes in mining operations or underground tunnels to remove gases, water, or other substances from the rock formations. They help maintain a safe working environment and ensure proper functioning of underground facilities.
Yes, bleach can harm PVC pipes if used in high concentrations or left to sit in the pipes for an extended period of time. It can weaken the PVC material and cause it to become brittle, leading to potential leaks or cracks in the pipes. It is generally recommended to dilute bleach thoroughly and not to use it regularly on PVC pipes.
