Safe operation of a pipelayer depends not only on safety aspects designed into the equipment by the manufacturer, but also on many other variables that must be known and controlled by the contractors and machine operators. Pipelines International asks Caterpillar how safe operating practices minimise risks and maximise productivity when operating on slopes. info@heavymachineryinfo.com (super admin) Mon, 28 Mar 2011 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.heavymachineryinfo.com/articles/4474/1/Famco-launches-Volvo-pipelayers/Famco-launches-Volvo-pipelayers.html Al Futtaim Auto Machinery Company has announced the UAE launch of Volvo pipelayers which is aimed at meeting the tough demands of the oil and gas industry. info@heavymachineryinfo.com (super admin) Tue, 02 Nov 2010 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.heavymachineryinfo.com/articles/4408/1/Holliston-to-flush-water-pipes-this-week/Holliston-to-flush-water-pipes-this-week.html The town is scheduled to begin a 10-day hydrant flushing program Wednesday. info@heavymachineryinfo.com (super admin) Wed, 01 Sep 2010 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.heavymachineryinfo.com/articles/2106/1/New-Chinese-yard-wins-pipelayers/New-Chinese-yard-wins-pipelayers.html LR-Fairplay's Daily Newbuilding News reports that Consolidated Projects Ltd (CPL) of Sleeuwijk in the Netherlands has ordered two offshore oil pipelaying vessels at the newly established Sohu Ship Heavy Industry Co in Jiangsu. info@heavymachineryinfo.com (super admin) Thu, 10 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.heavymachineryinfo.com/articles/2098/1/New-Chinese-yard-wins-pipelayers/New-Chinese-yard-wins-pipelayers.html LR-Fairplay's Daily Newbuilding News reports that Consolidated Projects Ltd (CPL) of Sleeuwijk in the Netherlands has ordered two offshore oil pipelaying vessels at the newly established Sohu Ship Heavy Industry Co in Jiangsu. info@heavymachineryinfo.com (super admin) Wed, 09 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.heavymachineryinfo.com/articles/375/1/pipelayers-plumbers-pipefitters--steamfitters/pipelayers-plumbers-pipefitters--steamfitters.html Virtually all pipelayers, plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters undergo some type of apprenticeship training. Many apprenticeship programs are administered by local union-management committees made up of members of the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry of the United States and Canada, and local employers who are members of either the Mechanical Contractors Association of America, the National Association of Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors, or the National Fire Sprinkler Association. info@heavymachineryinfo.com (Article Admin) Wed, 14 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.heavymachineryinfo.com/articles/51/1/Ukrainian-mine-buys-Caterpillar-excavators-and-pipelayers/Ukrainian-mine-buys-Caterpillar-excavators-and-pipelayers.html In 1924, A.A. Stron discovered a magnetic anomaly containing ten deposits of ferruginous quartzite and high-grade iron ores in the Ukrainian region of Poltava. Poltava mine, the forerunner of the mining industry, was built on the site of the first two deposits and Komsomolsk, one of Ukraine’s most beautiful cities, rose nearby. Construction was completed in 1970 on the Poltava mine. Today, the mine is operated with 100% private capital. info@heavymachineryinfo.com (Article Admin) Wed, 04 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0400
