A worker carrying out guniting (spraying concrete) on the Mersey oil pipeline, ready for a river crossing.
The Mersey oil pipeline was installed in 1967 by Laing Civil Engineering in association with the French companies, Entrepose and Grands Trevaux de Marseille (GTM). It is 88 miles in length and runs from Ellesmere Port to the Kingsbury Oil Terminal serving the Midlands. The pipeline had to cross the River Trent four times, also the River Tame and a series of streams and canals. The photograph shown was published in November 1967 in the Laing monthly newsletter Team Spirit
