Environmentally sensitive and remote areas pose challenges for pipeline projects. Dan Laux, Mattracks, Inc., USA, explains the advantages of track conversion systems when attempting to operate pipeline equipment in difficult terrain.

The areas are remote for a reason. They may be extremely wet or even underwater, they may be in sandy desert areas or in Arctic areas with snow and ice, or they may be In areas that are environmentally protected and require minimal soil disturbance. All of these areas have one thing in common; they require specialised equipment due to the terrain.
