The use of pipeline transportation as a special means for solving emergency situations

Abstract

The solving of non-military emergency situations represents a complex process during which various means of transport are used. From the perspective of transport, pipeline transportation can be classified as being more complex and the least known method. This article is specifically focused on a special type of pipeline transportation, which is a standby long-distance pipeline. The article further introduces the role and tasks of a standby long-distance pipeline during extraordinary events of a non-military nature, including its construction planning and calculations for the main aspects of the pipeline. In addition, it examines selected parts of the construction stages of a standby long-distance pipeline. The authors also propose the possible inclusion of a long-distance pipeline for special means to aid the Fire Rescue Service where it could serve as an important element for the transportation of water during extraordinary events of a nonmilitary nature.
