I was just wondering if anyone had an idea of how oil pipelines operate. Are they run 24/7? and if so do all of their pumping stations need to be operating? Can the pipeline still operate even if one or more pumping stations are out of service or would this depend on how much they are pumping...

I am trying to find information on how exactly oil pumping stations work, their detailed mechanics. Google unfortunately has not been much help, showing me more what they are used for. If anyone has detailed knowledge of the process or if they could provide a document/ URL to a site that...
So my main question is if anyone knows the rough cost of building a rock anchored foundation for a large wind turbine (upwards 1.5MW)? If you know the answer to these questions that would be great too: 1)the cost of blasting bedrock for the foundation if necessary & 2)how long does this type of...
