THE CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE MAIN GAS PIPELINES OPERATION FEATURES IN THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE KAMCHATKA TERRITORY
Gas transmission system development is a priority for the Kamchatka Territory, because gas which is extracted on the explored fields of the region, is used as one of the major energy sources. The gas supply to consumers in Kamchatka can significantly reduce the consumption of imported alternative fuel and avoid supply disruptions.One of features of this territory is a difficult environment. The territory of the Kamchatka Peninsula has many mountain rivers. Overcoming such obstacles, in laying of main pipelines, requires a special approach.This article describes the features of intersections of pipeline with water objects operating inthe conditions of the Kamchatka Peninsula. Lists the main types of structures used transitions, the analysis of their condition.According to the inspection, most often meeting problems, and the reasons from emergence are established. As a result, the authors have drawn conclusions about the effectiveness of the application of these designs, the need to assess stress-deformed state of pipeline, the need for measures to preserve a healthy state of the pipeline.
