The pipeline is an iconic structure leading over the shoulder of Ben Nevis connecting the outlet from the tunnel through to Loch Treig (see separate record) to the powerhouse below. This pipeline is a striking linear feature prominently sited on the shoulder of Ben Nevis. Our current state of knowledge suggests that the pipes are of relatively standard design for their date with no particular degree of technical innovation beyond the inaccessibility of their location.
