Pipeline Construction

The 20 inch "pig launcher" was set in place yesterday and the installation of the supports for the 24 inch "pig launcher" started today.



Pouring concrete into the supports for the 24 inch "pig launcher".



Trimming the corners on support plates that will be placed on top of the concrete to support the frame of the "pig launcher".



The welders were busy fabricating the piping for connecting the "pig launchers" to the pipelines.

Cleaning the first layer of weld before applying the next layer.



Much like "an army travels on its stomach", pipeline workers like a good meal.
