IMPROVING FIRE AND EXPLOSION SAFETY OF THE LINEAR PART OF THE MAIN GAS PIPELINES IN THE ARCTIC: INTEGRATED COMPLEX OF ENGINEERING, TECHNICAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL MEASURES

The article discusses the issues of ensuring the reliability and fire and explosion safety of main gas pipelines in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. Risk factors are analyzed: the degradation of permafrost rocks, extreme climatic effects and technological features of gas transportation. A set of engineering, technical and organizational measures is proposed, including adaptive solutions for monitoring, design and operation. The proposed solutions are based on the requirements of regulatory documents and confirm their practical importance for the development of the fuel and energy complex in the Arctic.
