Pipeline companies this year will buy 1,600,000 tons of pipe from steel companies, which have steadily made their pipes longer, stronger and thinner-walled. The proposed Trans-Canada line, for example, would safely cross 45 miles of current in the Straits of Mackinac with improved pipe, and pipe has been laid 170 ft. deep in the Gulf of Mexico.
