A team of men joining two steel pipes together on the Martin pipeline, showing the internal pneumatic clamp for locking the pipes together. The Martin gas pipeline was installed in 1981 by Laing Industrial Engineering and Construction Ltd for British Gas. Running 84km from Hatton in Lincolnshire to Peterborough, it crossed 50 roads, eight rivers and four railways. Laing's site headquarters was at Martin in Lincolnshire. In the negative register the subject of the photograph reads 'I.E.C. Basildon gas pipe line'. I.E.C. is believed to be a reference to Laing Industrial Engineering and Construction Limited.
