Do you have any mile-long "big metal pipes" lying around somewhere?
No, but I assume the Oil industry does.
And if they don't, I'm pretty sure it would be cheaper to pay whatever crazy premium it would take to cut to the front of the line at every pipe fabricator shop to build them.
5 shops at 1200 feet of pipe a day will get it done in a day.
Once again, this is a completely half cocked idea, so I'm not being cocky about it.

It's not just about length. Pipe has diameter too, you know.
If there was a simple fix for this, it would have been implemented. Trust me on that.
