Pipeline Through the Fens (1968) - extract.
Subscribe: bit.ly/subscribetotheBFI
This striking documentary focuses on the construction of the hidden conduit for North Sea gas lurking under the picturesque Norfolk fenland. 'Pipeline Through the Fens' was filmed during the 12 weeks in 1968 it took to lay 43 miles of pipeline under the county.
The film (made on behalf of The Gas Council) focuses on the considerable engineering achievement involved in linking sections of pipe (each one 40 feet long, 36 inches wide and weighing 4.5 tons) and burying them 9ft below the surface. The workers scrupulous care is understandable - you really wouldn't want to be trying to find a leak later on! (Emma Bonsall)

I worked on a 16 inch gas pipeline in New Jersey in 1968.We ran 20 miles of pipe,no canopy, no side booms,4 welders, a 944 Cat.Watching this i realize we were way behind in equipment & never knew it.

Downhill short-circuit mig root with co2 shield. Pretty cutting edge for 1968 I think...

@fredalmond9130 7 лет назад

I'd love to get into this industry. I am buying an everlast mig welder soon and hope to take some courses. Cool stuff.

@steveh9106 11 лет назад

Absolutely brilliant, very interesting, living in the fens it would be interesting to know where this was filmed and the current depth of the pipe considering fen soil shrinks. superb video. With a commentator that you can understand who speaks proper English, a lot of so called modern presenters should take note of how this gentleman speaks.

Patrick (John) Coady later worked with us at PWS from 1969 into the early 70s on Pipelines in the UK, we met up for lunch with him and his family in Marlborough one Christmas a few years ago circa 2009......when I first met him in 1967 ( and Mick & John Smith Frank Green etc etc ) he was one of the youngest pipeline welders around..............probably he still is ! We keep in touch and I am looking forward to meeting up again..............

I ran the 24" North Sea gas pipeline section from Tewkesbury to Ross-on-Wye in 1969 for Corrosion & Welding Engineering. ( CWE ). All manual welding, no Mig. Ted Justin was the spread boss for Lang. Great guy! Frank Wilson was the British Gas boss. Those were the good old pipeline days

@hagenvantronje8822 11 лет назад

The Pipe looks like it came from the Hartlepool 44 inch Pipemill, the coating is Bitumin so probably done by Bredero Price.,(that's a guess) Back in 1968 Pipeline welders doing the root used to be on magabucks but they were not allowed more than a couple of cutouts so you had to be good. A good Welders Mate was probably the key to getting a good weld, I was a Gas Council Inspector back in those days.

@Den9082 11 лет назад

Well, the title of the video (just down-below the stream) says exactly where it is... But you are right on the point that it is hard to tell just by watching (without reading titles)where the location was. Plus when your AWS comment might not be necessarily relevant to the location of the video and this is really true to the fact but somehow it is automatically associated with the United States as I seriously doubt that British welders would ever check anything with / against AWS at all :-)

@kf8575 2 года назад

AWS standards are used all over the world, bit like a "common standard" really, so that everybody is singing from the same songsheet. In Europe and here in the UK we also have EN/ISO standards, such as EN1090 which is also used for a lot, some sections of it for pipework and some for steelwork.

@joegardiner4220 5 лет назад

So interesting, are these techniques\methods still used ? And im curious to how many hot passes and super hot passes a welder would of done in a day ? And christ that boling bitumen must of made you gag

@TexasLeverGunner 11 лет назад

Again, wrong. If you learned anything in school, you would know the 1 in 6010 stands for all positions; it can be run downhill and is "designed" to. 7018 (up to unlimited tensile strength) is the only "all position" rod out of the commonly seen rods used for piping in petrochemical that cannot be run downhill due to the composition of the rod and flux.

@kf8575 2 года назад

7018 arent the only rod that cant be used for stoving. 7016 cant be run downhill, 6013 cant be run downhill. In fact 6010, 6011 and 8045 are the only rods that CAN be run downhill.

Hey, Arcstreams. This video has nothing to do with AWS. The United Kingdom of Great Britain has never been a part of the United States... :-)))) Good luck with geography! Well done for a 1968 movie though! I am impressed!

@TexasLeverGunner 11 лет назад

I don't care what your CWB book says. 6010's can be run downhill, and are meant to be run downhill. All pipelines welded to API 1104 code are welded downhill with a 6010 root, 6010 hot, and a 70+hippy fill and cap. Get out of your fab shop and do some real welding and you might understand how it works.

@zx6rlew.150 5 лет назад

6010 can not be run down hill. No just no. In fact no stick rod should be applied by means of (stoveing). Or downhill not even NU5, or celulosic rods.
