How high is the trans-alaska pipeline off ground?

The Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) is generally elevated above the ground. The height of the supports can vary depending on the terrain's specific geographical and ecological factors, but typically, the pipeline is around 4 to 6 feet (1.2 to 1.8 meters) above the ground along most of its length. This elevation helps with drainage, reduces the impact on the surrounding environment, allows wildlife movement underneath, and enables access to the pipeline for inspection and maintenance purposes.
