01 / MAINLINE & CONNECTIONS
Pipeline construction
New and replacement natural gas and liquids pipelines, from facility connections to major mainline spreads. Work includes clearing and access, grading, stringing, bending, welding, coating, trenching, lowering-in and backfill.
Road and water crossings, trenchless crossing installation, and steep-terrain construction. We engage specialty subcontractors for HD bores and horizontal directional drilling (HDD), with Midwest coordinating and supporting the pipeline work.
Mainline block and check valves, pig launchers and receivers, facility connections, and associated civil and mechanical work. Our experience also includes buried tube-storage fabrication and installation using 54-inch storage tubes.
Early input on routes, workspace, construction methods and materials helps resolve field constraints before construction. We prepare constructability reviews, execution plans, cost estimates and schedules, including Class III estimates and Level 4 schedules.
Final grading, topsoil and surface-material replacement, drainage, fencing, valve-site gravelling and site restoration. Experience includes standalone cleanup assignments and restoration following pipeline construction.
From its early work in facility construction, the business expanded into pipeline construction and established operations in the Edmonton region. Through changes in ownership and new partnerships, Midwest continued building its experience serving Western Canada’s energy industry.
Incorporated in Alberta in 2012, Midwest Pipelines Inc. is locally owned and headquartered in Spruce Grove. Today, we carry that tradition forward through experienced people, disciplined execution, and relationships built on trust.
