Oil and gas companies typically outsource pipeline construction and installation to specialized companies. This makes good financial sense as the oil and gas companies do not have to maintain the equipment or the crews to complete this very specialized types of service.
Pipeline construction companies like Platinum Pipefitting Inc. in Calgary, Alberta, provide the equipment, the trained and experienced operators, as well as the real-world expertise in the challenging job of installing any type of pipeline.
Evaluating and assessing what different pipeline construction companies bring to the project is important for the oil and gas company. While bids on the project always range from low to high, the bottom line on the bid is not always the full picture of the expertise, experience and the capacity of the company to work to the standards and the schedule required for the job.

This review should include information from the industry, from feedback and from any issues that may have developed in a pipeline installed by the company in the past.
