The pipes are being made for use as a subsea tieback to the Forties oil field (I think) and the building in Bower is Nicholson Engineering.
Just wondering..the miles of yellow pipes that adorn the fields on the way to Thurso what are they going to be used for ?
Also a building puzzles me passing through Bowermadden on the way to Thurso on the left hand side its grey almost like a mini aircraft hanger ? Any one help ?

Thanks alot
Subsea7's contribution to the county. I used to wonder what they were for too, but one thing is for sure, you cannot miss them taking over a good number of kilometers of the countryside.
see the towheads arrived ...wonder when the launch is..?
The miracle is not to fly in the air,
or to walk on the water,but to walk on the earth.
Think it's supposed to be 3rd march. 6.7 km of pipe, should be interesting to see.
Does anyone have more info on launch, time or place. This i'd like to see.
