Sample interview questions: Have you worked on pipeline projects that required the installation of pump stations?
Sample answer:
Yes, I have worked on several pipeline projects that required the installation of pump stations.

Project 1: I worked on a project to install a new 12-mile pipeline to transport crude oil from a production facility to a refinery. The pipeline crossed a major river, and the elevation difference between the two sides of the river was significant. To overcome this elevation difference, we installed two pump stations along the pipeline. The first pump station was located near the production facility, and the second pump station was located near the refinery. The pump stations were designed to provide the necessary pressure to move the crude oil through the pipeline.

Project 2: I worked on a project to install a new 50-mile natural gas pipeline to connect a new gas field to an existing distribution system. The pipeline was located in a remote area, and there was no access to electricity. To power the pump stations, we used solar panels and batteries. The pump stations were designed to operate continuously, even during periods of low sunlight.
