Apart from the pressure tubes of hydropower plants the most common
case
is probably sewer pipes. For general transport pipelines cutting them
into rock is rare due to the high costs. Hydropower penstocks are an
exception mostly due to the high volume high pressure combination and
sewage due to the space constraints in urban environments.
but are these called "pipelines"? Aren't those "pressure tunnels" /
"hydraulic galleries"? The only pipeless pipelines I could find in a
quick search are referring to a python library ;-)
I'm not sure (not rethoric, I'm really not sure, maybe we should
indeed?) whether we want to use man_made=pipeline for all kind of
linear way for liquids and gas, regardless of size, length,
construction, purpose. The wiki says the tag is only for "major"
pipelines (typical wiki speech, not usable to make a decision, I'd
rather remove this word to avoid splitting hair). Would the water
tubes and sewage tubes in my house be regarded a "pipeline"? The one
in the road in front of my house? What would be a sensible limit?
Might depend on the substance as well, e.g. a beer pipeline might have
only 20mm and would already be significant.
I'd like to think anything carrying waste water (sewer) would have a non
permeable lining.. and that lining could be called a 'pipe' and thus it
is a 'pipeline'.
To me the 'tubes' in my house for carrying water/gas are pipes .. and as
they are a line then they are pipelines!
