Pipes carrying various fluids are major structural element for every industry. Industries have been facing many problems including failures in the maintenance of pipelines. These problems as well as failures may have been occurred due to excavation, natural forces, material failure, weldment failure, equipment failure, corrosion, improper operations etc. However the main reason for most of the failures is due to lack of withstanding strength required for the pipe. Good amount of research has been made in the field of pipeline design especially in the area of stress analysis of pipelines by various researchers on design, manufacturing techniques and their sustainability under various operating conditions, but still not answered many of the ground situations. The Reliance Gas Transportation Infrastructure Limited is a Company which is transferring natural gas from Andhra Pradesh state to Gujarat state through gas pipeline named as East-West Gas Pipeline is observed to be a right area for making total analysis and to identify probable strength and resistance parameters for their sustainability. It is observed that there were no failures observed in this East-West Gas pipeline in last nine years. So it is the right area for study such pipeline and look for the possibilities of failure that may occur in future, also there is need to observe the necessary preventive measures been followed to avoid disasters. In this paper various case studies and experimental studies conducted by various novel researchers on the stress analysis of these pipelines are studied, comprehended and reviewed which will be a basis for providing better solutions and to provide utmost safety to the said pipeline. This further gives a brief idea of how the problems have been occurred and the possibility of preventive measures taken by the research in maintaining such a large pipeline without any kind of failure of any mode. This review will be helpful in providing sophisticated solution through computerised analysis.
