30" Pipeline

Date 04-03-2009 01:47

I work in Little Rock, AR and the other day behind our shop I saw a ton of 30" pipe on train cars. Being the curious gasman, I walked over and looked at the print on the coating. I think it said it was for a Trans-Canada pipeline. 70 something feet joints, .328 wall. Any body know about this project? Looks like a lot of welding.
