Pipelines have been in the news a lot lately thanks to President Donald Trump’s decision to move forward with the Keystone XL and Dakota Access projects that have been on the table for quite some time now. Since being sworn in as the 45th president of the United States of America, Trump has worked to fulfill campaign promises to do whatever he can to push these and other projects forward and to see to it that the pipelines are built. He plans on using steel manufactured in the U.S. to make them and hopes that they will increase the number of jobs that are available in the country.
It takes more than just steel and manpower to get pipelines built, though. There are quite a few pieces of heavy machinery that will be required as well. To keep all of the heavy machinery safe and stable on the various job sites that will part of building and completing these and other pipelines, companies will need to invest in crane mats, pipeline skids and timbers.
Crane mats can help provide a foundation for the machinery and prevent damage to hard surfaces while protecting underground services. Meanwhile, pipeline skids and timbers are used to elevate the pipes that will actually carry fuel once the construction is complete.
Pipeline projects are going to continue to pop up across the country. If your company is working on either of these projects or looking to complete work on another pipeline job, Ritter Forest Products has the crane mats, pipeline skids and timbers you need to get these jobs done.
