パイプライン

a system of interconnected pipes used for the transport of liquids, gases, or other substances over long distances

What is a "pipeline"?

A pipeline is a large, continuous pipe system used to transport liquids, gases, or other materials over long distances. Pipelines are often buried underground or placed above ground, depending on the type of material being transported. They are commonly used for moving water, oil, natural gas, or chemicals from one location to another, such as from a production site to a processing plant or a distribution center. Pipelines are designed to handle large volumes and ensure the safe, efficient movement of materials while reducing the need for frequent transport by vehicles or ships.
