North Cotes, East Lindsey, Lincolnshire. A worker carrying out an x-ray of the Northcoates pipeline, checking for faults in the welding.
The civil engineering work on the Northcoates oil pipeline was carried out by Laing Pipelines along with French companies Entrepose and GTM. Over two miles of 36 inch diameter pipeline, encased in concrete, was later pulled out to sea in the Humber Estuary

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a crucial moment in the construction of the Northcoates oil pipeline in Lincolnshire during the 1970s. The image showcases a dedicated worker diligently carrying out an x-ray examination on the pipeline, meticulously checking for any faults in its welding. The civil engineering project was undertaken by Laing Pipelines, collaborating with French companies Entrepose and GTM. This ambitious endeavor involved laying over two miles of concrete-encased, 36-inch diameter pipeline. However, what makes this photograph even more intriguing is that this very same pipeline would later be pulled out to sea in the Humber Estuary. The image not only highlights the advanced technology employed during this era but also emphasizes the importance of meticulous inspection and quality control within such large-scale projects. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and dedication to ensuring safe and reliable infrastructure. Preserved within Historic England's Archive, this print offers us a glimpse into an important chapter of civil engineering history. It reminds us of how far we have come technologically while also prompting reflection on our responsibility towards sustainable development and environmental preservation.
