WORD OF THE WEEK//STICK// The term used to identify the arm of an excavator or side boom in pipelining is typically referred to as the "pipe-handling arm or stick" or "pipe-laying arm." This equipment is used to lift, position, and place pipes during the construction of a pipeline. It plays a crucial role in ensuring precise and efficient pipe installation. #Construction #Excavator #HeavyEquipment #Pipelining #PipelineConstruction #ConstructionEquipment #ConstructionIndustry #HeavyMachinery #WordOfTheWeek

A fantastic opportunity for students to participate in, organized by the Construction Project Management Students' Association. This initiative provides valuable insights and learning experiences for those interested in the field. It's a great way for students to enhance their knowledge and connect with industry professionals.

At Pipestone Projects, we’re proud to give back to our community by supporting the Calgary Elite Ringette team in the Open A Elite division. This talented group of athletes, ages 18 to 23, brings over 10 years of ringette experience to the game, with many having competed at the national level. Although this is a new team and some players are stepping into the adult league (CORA) for the first time, their dedication and passion for the sport are undeniable. We’re honored to have our logo on their jerseys and wish them all the best as they chase success this season. Here’s to our future leaders! #CommunitySupport #Ringette #FutureLeaders

Pipeline 101//Canadian Supply and Disposition In 2019, Canada was the 4th largest crude oil producer in the world, producing 5.9% of total global supply. Crude oil production averaged 4.9 million barrels per day (MMb/d), or 784 thousand cubic metres per day (10³m³/d).Production from the oil sands has grown 25% between 2015 and 2019, driving an overall increase in Canadian crude oil production. Crude oil produced in Canada varies widely in quality. In general, light crude oil is more valuable to refiners because it produces a greater proportion of high-value transportation fuels. Heavy oil requires more processing and costly equipment, and produces a higher proportion of lower value products such as asphalt and fuel oil. As a result, light and heavy crude oil grades trade at different prices. Much of the crude oil produced in Canada is heavy crude oil extracted from the oil sands in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB).
