[ Construction Equipment ]

While it might not seem obvious at first thought, knowing about the equipment used around pipelines is a logical expectation for a pipeline engineer.

Knowing about what the machines are used for, and their sizes, capacities and technical specifications, is useful for design or operational tasks. Because, if you’re responsible for that design or operation, you should also know the equipment that will be used fulfilling that design or operation.

It’s useful to be able to speak easily about the excavators, rock breakers, cranes, generators, grit blasters, side booms, trenchers, induction heating coils, pumps, air compressors, generators, graders and bulldozers.
