A sponsored film on the building of an oil pipeline - named the Arapahoe - from Colorado to Kansas where it joins up with a larger pipeline. Shots of the digging of ditches, preparing the pipes, and laying the pipes. Made for Pure Oil Company and the Sinclair Pipeline Company, the film shows the laying of the pipeline as a technological achievement and, considering the Cold War era in which it was made, a patriotic defense in case of war with the Soviets. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
Wow, I see alot of tools used back then, being used now. Pipeline was always a Big Deal.
I worked on gas pipeline construction from 1966 to 1987.we ran 28 miles of 12inch with or trencher,a 944 Cat sideboom four welders &a 944 Cat to backfill.Tough times back then.
No such thing as a 944 cat sideboom

wow look at these old timers.. makes us look bad... great folks
Really Cool Video with alot of detail
old school...love it
apt name for a big project and a honour to a great national tribe.long may their children live on in peace.
Notice,no hard hats or safety vests.Thats how I worked for 25yrs.
Just an ok overview of a building o a pipeline.
wraped the whole thing in asbestos damn that would be some nasty shit to repaire
It is. We fix old lines sometimes leaks sometimes tie in but that shit to get clean is a killer
Coating with asphalt and asbestos without any type of safety gear, yikes. I wonder how many of these workers developed health issues after this
was that Elizabeth Warrens father at the start of the video?
11:04 Asbestos?
Yup
yea I know... but it was all they knew then right.? I always wished I was going out of this world with those guys
The good old days!
The best.

Love it, thank you. Love that bending machine, hot latching rope, good lord I have seen bead hands but shit, that bead went in. Fast. How about that old heavy ass grinder, probably block brush ice pick job huh? Like them old fibremetals, same rock shield I guess. Same cadwelds. Pretty much did not change in 50 years, right?
Hot latching dopers I meant. Ficking spellcheck robots. Dynamite crew is cool. Show some more 583's my favorite, bury it and go, bury the inspector if need be. Seems like we bored under that line in 95
Great workmen are they irish
Chinese
I'm glad we are more conscious of pollution these days. I guess this was the cost of keeping up with the Russians, no time for safety or the environment. These guys worked so hard!
