CUMBRIA. A helicopter flying over a row of Caterpillar pipelayers during the installation of the Brampton pipeline.
In 1975, Laing Pipelines laid the Brampton gas pipeline between Longtown near Carlisle to the east of Bishop Auckland. The pipeline is a section of the Frigg pipeline carrying natural gas from the North Sea to near Peterhead in Scotland. The headquarters for the Laing contract was located at an old quarry near Brampton

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous engineering endeavor that took place in Cumbria back in 1975. The image showcases a helicopter gracefully soaring above a row of powerful Caterpillar pipelayers, as they diligently work on the installation of the Brampton pipeline. This particular pipeline is an integral part of the Frigg pipeline system, which transports natural gas from the North Sea to Scotland. The headquarters for this ambitious Laing Pipelines project was strategically situated at an old quarry near Brampton, serving as the nerve center for all operations. The sheer scale and complexity of this civil engineering feat are truly awe-inspiring, with machinery and aircraft harmoniously working together to bring vital gas supply closer to communities. Looking at this photograph today not only offers us a glimpse into our industrial past but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. It reminds us of how far we have come in harnessing technology and innovation to meet our energy needs. Thanks to Historic England Archive's preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this remarkable snapshot frozen in time. Let it serve as a reminder that progress often requires bold visionaries who dare to push boundaries and pave the way for future generations.
