I don’t know much about pipeline, I’ve usually just done a variety of construction and mainly tank maintenance in refineries. Watching this kind of stuff does make me appreciate the hard work pipeliners do out there! Cool vid 👍

I'm a retired 1104 sec.9 welder after 33 years. This kinda looks familiar haha. Man I really miss jobs like this and the guys especially. Real characters. I'd like to thank the engineers and scientists that constantly trained us. Keeping us alive. Thanks for the video makes me feel good providing natural gas to our country. Only in America. Beautiful.

I use to be a pipeline welder in my younger days. I can remember doing this but without the annoying music.

I was a pipe welder for 35 yrs in the pipefitters union had every certification Stick, Tig, Mig in the book was also certified in Structure Steel brings back a lot of memories but got to tell u have seen a lot better looking welds than the ones in this video. I was lucky I was taught by a welder who was absolutely incredible every weld he did looked like it was done by a machine its a incredible skill once u master it.

Incredible assembly/disassemble work, ALL precision work and by hand too.

The tapping sleeve & valve method has been around for more than 60 years.
The fun is when you need to insert a valve in-line. In my years as a contractor we would freeze the main on each side with a huge amount of dry ice. Since I retired about 30 years ago there may be a better way nowadays ❓

Welding is about fusing metals and alloys that can be plus also defying gravity so the weld looks good but the hardest part is when you have to get in the most awkward positions especially when you are stick welding ( manual metal arc ) .
Tig is also difficult and a skilled welding process but today many workshops cap the pipes with the Mig because it’s a lot faster but this is only semiskilled

Always like too many guys in slacks standing around, you know just just make sure the guys actually working are doing it right. " yea dear, today was rough out of the office. Had to go 45 miles out in the hot ass country to watch the welders and fitters. Just to make sure they were doing it right. It was a real pain in the ass day and I'm worn out."

I’ve welded a few of these. Takes awhile to get it done. Hot tie ins are the scary ones. Great Balls of fiiiire! 🤣🔥

the pipes are firmly and perfectly connected

Typical job. Welder and fitter and helper in the trench, 10 guys topside clean and shiny looking in.
I dont miss that part.

I’ve seen this done on a 48” oil pipeline. It is pretty amazing as they can keep the line going until they drill.

I enjoyed doing this kind of work several times over in the last 15 years .I miss solving water supply problems .Steel work is good though it's being replaced by HDPE in some works .

[johncamp]

I see most of this being done everyday, we do TOR’s , just not often. Re-coat, and pig digs. Sleeve conversions from A to B.

[elhuanimaro]

The best part is the welding process, 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[dustinread]

I love it no safety glasses no fr clothes no torque wrench

[dozerboy]

I’ve seen PG&E guys do a hot tap on a 6in gas main! I was like WTH man, I’m gonna go get breakfast, I’ll be back in an hour or two after y’all blow yourselves up! But it was no big deal, I guess they do it all the time.

молодцы наши ребята, красиво работают, могут!
