A special grout is used to surround and seal mainline pipe in an insulated box at Atigun Pass on the trans Alaska pipeline project. The insulation is 21 inches thick on both sides of the pipe, which leaves about three inches of clearance on either side of the pipe to be filled with the grout., 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%...

When the trans Alaska pipeline is operational, crude oil will flow up and over this slope in the Chugach Mouintains on its way to Valdez. At up-hill sections along the pipeline, 80 check valves are installed to limit any potential spill. These mechanical valves close automatically in the event of a pressure loss in the line upstream of the valve, thereby preventing the flow of oil in the wrong direction. Link up into the pipeline of the check valve at center awaits installation of a short section of 48-inch diameter pipe., 1974 - 1977

A remote gate valve and an elevated section of the trans Alaska pipeline dwarf the man at right. A small building, shown here at the rear, is co-located with each of the 62 remote gate valves on the 800-mile pipeline. It houses the power system and electronic communications equipment for the valve’s operation., 1974 - 1977

Work continues well into the night at the tanker terminal of the trans Alaska pipeline at Valdez. The power plant, center, will supply electrical power to the 1,000 acre facility. The vapor recovery system, foreground, will supply and distribute inert flue gas to blanket the space above the crude oil in the half-million barrel capacity storage tanks., 1974 - 1977

Artifacts, some dating back 10,500 years, were found along the trans Alaska pipeline. As many as 76 archaeologists at one time were working to preserve remnants of earlier civilizations before pipeline construction crews began work. They labored in mosquito-swarm days of summer as well as the dark, sub-zero days of winter., 1974 - 1977
