Values

Quality

Our nearly 75-year history is built on a reputation of quality and integrity, both of our people and our welding. In our industry, safety and quality are inseparable; you cannot have one without the other. Pipeliners Local Union 798 provides the highest quality Welders in the nation by requiring rigorous training for all its pipeline Welders. Our quality speaks for itself, with our Welders consistently performing to the highest of industry standards.

Safety

Nothing is of greater importance than your safety and the safety of your family when it comes to pipeline construction and welding in your community. Pipeliners 798 goes above and beyond to adhere to all safety requirements and enforce the best practices in pipeline and workplace safety. We are the ones literally “in the trenches,” so when we discuss pipeline safety, it is personal to our Welders and their families.

A 2013 Fraser Institute study conclusively showed pipelines to be the safest oil and natural gas transportation method, especially compared to rail and other above-ground methods. It is our commitment to keeping that fact true.

Environmental and Community Stewardship

Many Americans’ environmental concerns regarding oil and gas are very important to us, and Pipeliners Local 798 works diligently to lessen its environmental impact. Pipeliners Local 798 has a strong track record of weld integrity, which is critical in preventing environmental hazards.

All Pipeliners Local 798 Welders take part in an environment orientation for every project that reviews that specific project’s environmental impact and how to minimize their impact. These orientations include training about the landscape, habitat, and even the wildlife near the project.

When working on a pipeline project, our desire to become valued partners within the community is always our desire. We hope that if you see the Pipeliners Local 798 logo in the community, you will know that worker genuinely cares about the work they do and about you and your family.

Our Ladies of 798 group, which is made up primarily of our members’ spouses, makes it a point to leave a town or community better than when they arrived. This includes volunteering at local agencies and helping with fundraisers for local charities and schools.
