ALASKA PIPELINE
made into the State of Alaska
AN ARTIFACT OF ALASKA'S OIL PIPELINE
HISTORY rather than Native Eskimo
You
can't visit Alaska without crossing the pipeline and wanting to know
more. It is a significant part of Alaska, and U.S. history. (Also
called the Alyeska Pipe line)

The pipeline is 800 miles of 48" diameter
pipe. It can sustain an 8.5 earthquake. It is constructed
above-ground (to protect the permafrost, and high enough for migrating
animals to pass underneath), and below ground where safe.
The zig-zag pattern of the pipeline is by
design. This keeps the pipeline from separating during expansion
& contraction, an innovative design thanks to James Maple, Structural
Engineer. The pipeline received honors from the American Welding
Society for the superior work

Here is a big piece of the pipeline in the
shape of the State of Alaska, showing where the pipeline was built through
the center of the state, from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez:

Here's a premier piece in Valdez (not for
sale):
Pipeline pipe is 1/2" and/or 3/8"
thick steel, cut into the shape of the State of Alaska (natural curvature
of the pipe is evident), buffed to a mirror finish, bolted to the wood
display board, picture hanger on the back.
Anodized black/silver aluminum engraved
nameplate authenticates it as: "This projection of Alaska is cut from
an actual piece of the Trans Alaska Pipeline".
