A Picture Of Pipeline Construction Oman.
A tie-in on the Sur 48″ diameter gas pipeline, 1998.
48" diameter pipeline.
The picture above I took with a pre-digital Canon Ixus. I found it handy, around the size of a cigarette pack, slipped into the top pocket of my overalls no probs. I was so impressed with it I bought a Canon digital Ixus 6 a 6 mega pixel mini camera which I use constantly, for such a small camera it works marvels. Anyway back to the topic of this post, the tie-in. In pipeline construction the pipes are strung out along the trench and are welded up by what we call the front end welding crews. At road crossings and difficult areas they leave gaps for the tie-in crews to weld at a later time.
