Pipeline Welding


Fire line, mainline pipeline welding rigs Pennsylvania

A view into a world most of us never see. I've seen welding rigs, but it's always just one rig all by its lonesome, never seen anything like this.

Having designed and performed the initial site surveys, construction review and post construction site and utility restoration for miles of high and low pressure steam and chilled water distribution in a direct bury, 200+ year old site scenario, I really have no frame of reference for this sort of very large scale above ground work, but it sure would have saved me about 90% of my design time and 100% of my construction headaches working like this.

In other words, this operation is pretty damn easy compared to laying pipe in an area that has any existing utilities.
