Service overview
What Pipe Lowering involves
Pipe lowering is the controlled transfer of a welded and inspected pipe string from the working side of the right-of-way into the prepared trench. Lifting points, equipment movement and communication between operators are coordinated to protect the pipe, welds and coating.
How we support the work
Our site team coordinates manpower, operators, access and equipment around the approved client scope. Execution is sequenced so each work front is ready for the next pipeline activity with minimal avoidable delay.
