How do you protect all that area, along with every other sensitive point? Time to fill up those not so secret Polish prisons.

  Fina-Line
is the major link between Lindsey Oil Refinery and TOTAL's Buncefield Terminal in Hertfordshire, which is a joint venture with Texaco. Completed in the summer of 1990, it marked the start of a new era for the company's logistics and offers a safe, environmentally-friendly method of distribution.

Fina-Line also connects to another pipeline leading into London Heathrow, the world's busiest airport. At certain peak times, it is Fina-Line alone that enables Heathrow to maintain operations.

It stretches over a total of 140 miles, crossing 158 roads, 13 main rivers and 7 railway lines along the way.

Horizontal directional drilling enables Fina-Line to cross rivers while entirely avoiding damage to the riverbeds and banks and interference with the water flow.

Fina-Line is 10inches in diameter, and approximately 235km long, with a pressure of 110bar. It has a capacity of 6million litres per day.
