    Introduction

    1.1 Introduction and Background to Design and Construction of Arctic Pipeline

    Arctic pipelines are trunklines transporting gas and oil from production sites to the facilities that process the product and the pipelines that convey it to the consumers. The pipelines that are constructed in the territory limited within the polar circle are called arctic pipelines. The differentiation of pipelines into arctic and those which are located to the south of the polar circle is notional. The main characteristics of arctic pipelines are determined by the climatic conditions pertaining to a given territory, which are described below, and it may be noted that some of these features can be encountered in territories outside of the polar
