[Talk-gb-westmidlands] West mids energy pipelines

[Andy Robinson]

While having a clear up in my office I found the two schematic energy maps
I'd mislaid for some years. They date from late 90's so are a little out of
date now but being in copyright all I can do is relay some basic info for
the West Midlands in case anyone spots markers at field boundaries and wants
to chase them across our patch.

Oil:
1. 10-inch while oils pipeline running from Kingsbury terminal to
Nottingham. It may run via East Midlands airport but that's unclear from the
map
2. 10/12/14-inch white oils pipeline to Stanlow on the Wirral to Buncefield
and passes through Uttoxeter and Kingsbury . I assume the diameter varies
depending on the distance from the pumping stations
3. 10-inch aviation fuel Kingsbury to Buncefield
4. 14-inch white oils pipeline from Fawley (Southampton) to Seisdon Staffs,
(I think its marked as "Pumping Station" on OSM). This line goes via Astwood
5. 12-inch white oils from Astwood via Birmingham Airport to the Bromford
terminal
6. A line links Seisdon, Staffs with the Bromford terminal.
7. 14/16-inch Milford Haven to Manchester (Partington) via Kingsbury (Might
go through Seisdon too)

Natural Gas:
1. 12-inch along the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal towpath From Kingsbury
terminal to Fort Dunlop (Not sure if this means Bromford terminal or
separate).
2. Churchover (Warks) to Wormington (Glous) (Pair of pipelines)
3. 900mm dia Churchover to Newbold Pacey (Warks) - Completed 1999.( I picked
this up from other sources)
4. Two lines northwest  out of Alrewas heading to Merseyside. One in the
opposite direction that connects to the main pipeline running between Bacton
and Churchover. Connection is possibly just in Leicestershire. Another from
Alrewas to Peterborough via Leicester ish.

Oxygen:
1. 3-inch - Wolverhampton to West Bromwich
1. 12-inch  - Wolverhampton to West Bromwich

Government
1. The only one I know of runs from Avonmouth to Backford/Ince and probably
runs in the vicinity of Seisdon through our patch.
