By Henry Young


The pipeline-constructing companies mostly use unstable and muddy fields. Due to the muddy and unstable conditions of this field, the ground cannot withstand the weight applied by the machines employed in the construction of the pipeline. So as to avoid polluting the environment, the installation of pipeline mats is done before construction project commences.
