This pipeline runs around the boundary of the park, it caries steam from one ICI plant to another. And here is a kink in it, not sure why it is here. Taken from a footbridge across the pipeline, not from on the pipes.
here is a photo of the place that makes the steam, the combined heat and power plant in winnington: flickr.com/photos/93173492@N00/212342518/?addedcomment=1#...
The Alyeska pipeline’s structure is really a fascinating thing. Rather than being directly mounted to a post, the pipeline itself sits on a sliding shoe that can back and forth on a crossbar between two posts. This lets the pipeline shift relatively freely to handle expansion and contraction do to temperature shifts as well as ground movement due to permafrost melt or earthquakes. Where the pipeline is mounted, it is wrapped in a large, insulating bumper in case it shifts so far as to hit one of the posts. Further, each post is topped with a heatsink to prevent the heat of the oil from being transmitted into the ground and melting the permafrost below (which would cause massive deformation of the landscape, potentially stretching and breaking the pipe). Preserving the permafrost is actually the main reason much of the pipeline is built above ground, rather than buried.
