Pipeline Sealing Assembly with Pipeline Sleeve and Pipeline Terminals and Method of Making Same

A method of forming a pipeline assembly, comprising:

• assembling a first loaded pipeline pipe by:
• a) positioning a terminal belt about a terminal liner to form a belted liner;
• b) inserting the belted liner into a pipeline pipe;
• assembling a second loaded pipeline pipe by repeating a)-b);
• inserting a first sleeve end of a pipeline sleeve into a first contact end of the first loaded pipeline pipes;
• inserting a second sleeve end of the pipeline sleeve into a second contact end of the second loaded pipeline pipe;
• and
• connecting the first contact end of the first loaded pipeline pipe to the second contact end of the second loaded pipeline pipe.

A method of assembling a pipeline, comprising:

• assembling a pipeline assembly by:
• a) assembling a tube assembly by connecting terminal tubes to a first pipeline end and a second pipeline end of a pipeline pipe;
• b) assembling a liner assembly by:
• assembling a belted liner by connecting a terminal belt to a first liner end of a terminal liner;
• inserting a first belted end of the belted liner into the first pipeline end of the pipeline pipe and advancing the liner assembly into the pipeline pipe until a second belted end of the belted liner extends from the second pipeline end of the pipeline pipe;
• connecting a second terminal belt to a second liner end of the belted liner;
• and
• retracting the belted liner into the pipeline pipe;
• forming another pipeline assembly by repeating a) and b);
• inserting a first portion of a pipeline sleeve into the first pipeline end of a first of the pipeline pipes and inserting a second portion of the pipeline sleeve into the second pipeline end of a second of the pipeline pipes;
• and
• connecting the first pipeline end of the first of the pipeline pipes and the second pipeline end of the second pipeline pipe.
