Pipeworx – Where Safety and Quality are #1!

At Pipeworx Ltd., safety is paramount. From the front line workers to the President, safety is the responsibility of every individual to ensure we all get home safely at the end of each day.

There are many costs to accidents and unsafe work practices. The greatest costs are the human ones. By protecting our workers, we are also protecting their families, friends, the public and the environment.

One of the cornerstones of Pipeworx Ltd.’s success is a successful Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) program. This has been accomplished through pre-job hazard assessments, hazard controls, open discussions and a strong safety committee along with 100% commitment from the President and the managers.

In maintaining a strong safety culture at Pipeworx Ltd., we achieve sound operational practices, efficient project implementation and execution on all Pipeline, Facility and Pipeline Integrity projects.
