An above ground section of the trans Alaska pipeline zigzags north across the flat, snow swept plains of the North slope, about 50 miles south of Prudhoe Bay. The sigzag configuration of the pipeline will convert thermal expansion of the steel pipe into a sideways movement of the pipeline., 1974 - 1977

Content Description From the Collection: The collection contains both slides and photographs taken during the pipeline construction. Subjects include personnel, equipment, bridge construction, the winter environment, wildlife, pump stations, Port Valdez, the Haul Road and the terminal. There are several views of archaeologists from UAF working at the site. The 589 slides generally correspond to six typewritten progress reports, which begin in March 1976, when the pipeline was about 45% complete, and end in April 1977 at 95%...

Crossbars and cradles were added to this bulldozer so it could carry two 80-foot sections of the 48-inch diameter pipe up the steep, narrow work roads in Keystone Canyon. The canyon, about 18 miles east of Valdez, is one of the most challenging sections along the 800-mile route of the trans Alaska pipeline., 1974 - 1977
