EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the construction of the Martin gas pipeline. In this image, a team of dedicated welders can be seen diligently working on the pipeline, using an automatic hot pass welding bug to ensure precision and efficiency. The Martin gas pipeline, installed in 1981 by Laing Industrial Engineering and Construction Ltd for British Gas, played a crucial role in supplying gas to various regions. Stretching over 84km from Hatton in Lincolnshire to Peterborough, this impressive infrastructure project required careful planning and execution.

Laings site headquarters were located at Martin in Lincolnshire, serving as the central hub for coordinating this massive undertaking. The dedication and expertise of these welders are evident as they work together seamlessly to connect different sections of the pipeline. This photograph not only showcases the technical prowess involved in engineering such projects but also provides a glimpse into the working environment of skilled individuals during the 1980s. It serves as a testament to their hard work and commitment towards ensuring a reliable gas supply for communities across multiple regions. With its historical significance and visual appeal, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the human effort behind large-scale infrastructure projects like pipelines while also capturing an era long gone by.
