So ya wanna be a pipeliner! 

A buddy of mine was a welder out of 798. I am a fitter retired out of 85 and he was my welder back in Saginaw, MI. I retired a few years back after I lost my knees to surgery. He never got the chance to retire. A heart disease made his heart stop beating on it's own. Doctors believe it was from all the years of breathing smoke. I miss you "Tumbleweed"!

This is a fascinating look inside a whole different world...great camera work, Cheryl!

That the longest I have ever seen welders awake.

God bless Shawn and his family

I can feel the brotherhood in that film, great work. Was a welder in the U.K. but not pipeline.

Hermosoo!! 👨‍🏭Saludos desde Santa Cruz - Argentina 🇦🇷

Love the sound of a SA 200 running beads

living the dream

Oh hey I was here.i was welding in the best spot with good old Rodney akins.great buchbof guys.robert,Denis@cheryl team.the last c time I worked around Phil chapman.time flys.mowerpower

Nothing finer than a pipeliner!

The work busses in Alaska in 1975 said ALYESKA PIPELINE on stenciled sign near the door.The first thing the 798ers did was remove a couple of letters so it now said "YES A PIPELINE".Just to let management know who was really running the job.There were hundreds of these busses carrying personnel to the job sites every morning and evening.Laborers ,oilers operators 798ers all in the same bus.Sometimes riding an hour or more one way but the 798ers had negotiated pay both ways for everyone.

Why join a union? Answer: Workers unorganized are weak. Workers organized are strong. What does job security mean? Protection against being discharged without sufficient reason. Courage and faith in the future is fundamental to success. There will always be tempory dips in our economy; however, living standards in our country continue to march forward, and always will. The best time to plan and forge ahead is when others are afraid. ONE FLAG, ONE LAND, ONE HEART, ONE HAND.

Swear I seen a couple familiar faces I've worked with in the past. When I've ran tack rig.Best wishes to Shawn's family and pipeline family. And the hater who commented is probably someone who got run off a pipeline job or there wife got pregnant during a job, And SURPRISE!!! The baby popped out with some Fine looks.

Studying right now to prepare for welding next year. I'm getting old but I still have a few years in me. I miss Wyoming. From Cody. Hope to get back there soon. Nice video!

I hope you hear from Shawn. God Bless his family!

Straight gold

Good stuff looks fun and good pay

Love it that job

Very excitly and correct welding at root pass

i am also a downhill welder work in saudi arabia.i like this job very much.

A man was at the hospital waiting for the birth of his first child. After a while the doctor came out and said you have a 7 pound son and all is fine. The man asked is there anything else you can tell me? The doctor replied, I think he will be a pipeline welder when he grows up. Why do you say that he askes . Doctor , He's crying!

Pipelines are the best place to work on!

I hope they found the guy Shawn that is sad I worked up in the dakotas during the big oil boom and a lot of people came up missing during the three years I was there well enough said I hope God brought him back to his family

Is that a r model at the end. Get it gone lol cool video

I love welding with my everlast welder and all but how long are you guys out in the field working that pipe?

this is great, i wanna be here

I want to ask , after radio graphy the weld where is dvloop film?

I love my job 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Downhill 8010 🥰🥰🥰🥰

muy lindo trabajo mi papa tambien es soldador suerte y un abrazo para todos

pipeliner.. UA local 601👍👍

What is that big long thing you are running in the pipe? Is it welding from the inside too?

Where is this ...? I want to apply there

When is the next job?

Looks like rough work... Glad I went into electronic engineering!

No disrespect but who's Shawn? Saw comments on here asking if he's been found. Hope he's okay

I would weld on pipelines for the union any day I'm from Texas I guess that's possible 🤠

I'm a welding student in the south, we don't have unions here. After school would you recommend moving to a union state?

Job. Welds in. On. Going Using Stick.

What is the machine that was being ran inside of the pipe called? And it's purpose?

I work utilities (Storm water, Sewer, Recycled Water, pipes like that) so I'm not too familiar with large scale pipelines like this. You guys don't back fill these pipes do you? Also I'm sorry to hear about you're worker Shawn. It's never good to hear stories like that, whether you know them or not, were all in the same dangerous business.

How would I be able to get in on pipeline work. I live in Alabama. I don't want to use those damn machines like I've seen in other videos I want to burn some rod not run a machine that does it for you

Where do I sign up??

I can xray that for ya!

There's nothing better then a 798er!!!

So im 16 and doing welding and never have i ever seen the welding mask whats up with them?

How do I get into this business

Walking between the pipe and the boom... not good.. very dangerous... Taught that on first day

What’s the difference between a pipe liner and pipe fitter ?

Wine, dine & pipeline 798

I guess you guys are UA to then?

how do u land a pipeline job?

You'll find out when it comes time to retire why we're union. . . better hope you're putting that $$ up for your retirement!

Was Shawn ever found?

What is average salary for a week for pipelinner??

hi mr levi , you work like a BOSS! im a qualified in ASME standard PIPE WELDING and TIG welder My name is Orlando muñoz reyesI live in colombia south america, im currently preparing myself on the API 1104 standard what shoud I do in order t work with you?

Looks like a lot of people standing around to me

I work welding tik and mig and argon fenes in I exprsesn 7 yours

It always cracks me up how people post these videos like it's hard to weld pipe or something. Give me a break, stick is so easy and most of all 6010 and 7018 down-hand. Yes I was a welder for 24 years and now a CWI of over 15, yeah I know.

Ha ha ha I had never seen welding masks like that in my life.

were all proud of what we do. but the Alaska pipeline aka the last gold rush is over fellas! don't look to hard ah work ta me? on the ground, helpers, wtf!!

They were welding down hill WTF ? on a big time pipe job your allowed to weld down hill? Not how I was told all these years.

Looks like a mess. Coal? 32 miles per gallon impresses ya,,, you must not know we are sending ppl off planet in jump rooms. Have Anti Gravity crafts. Hope that guy is ok, but many a strange things happen out in these kinds of areas and the missing persons list is long!

마스크 정도는 쓰고 합시다… 피복아크에서 나오는 가스는 인체에 좋지 않으니 챙기셔야죠 ㅠ 몸이 자산인 직업군이신데;;;;;;

This welders at Union looking very old lol Run your own truck guys make more cash Go no union

عمل منتازمع تحيات شركةالسندانالذهبي

for a AT LEAST a minimum of 1,000 a week or no

The best Pipeliners are non union!

was thinking of joining but after seeing ratty practices by company hands like dave rat castile working in ohio I changed my mind so I don't have to work in the rain and snow and oh yeah through my breaks

so you just weld like a normal person. not a big deal. it's just welding. lol

*UA LOCAL 798… Stealing our brother’s jurisdiction one inch at a time!*

LOL...Stick welding pipe, it doesn't get much easier than that (unless your doing MIG).

Kind of a weird Osiris, occult symbol for their union logo, hmmm, weird....

When I travel, I carry my own 4-wheeler 🏍 Why do I do this? Because, 1 to many times the company will say they are renting me one, and none are available. Or, they will rent one, along with 2 or 3 more. Then, soooooooooo many times I leave our “Safety / Medic Trailer, someone else has done jumped on it from our crew, And zoomed!!!!!!!! OFF! So, to make sure it never happens even with my own, I, TAKE THE KEY 🔑 OUT OF IT!!! Which I’m not supposed to do with a rented one. Btw, With the size of the 4-wheeler I own, it sure beats my company pickup 🛻 in many ways. You know how crowded job-sites can get. Also, I have a custom built rack on the front and back. And I carry a good size safety kit that has everything I need, also my fully-charged-up, “Philips FR3 AED.” To me, they are the best, or one ☝️ of, the best in the top 5 of AED. The Philips Heartstart is a semi-automatic AED and it’s really designed for healthcare professionals to provide emergency assistance to people. Who may, unexpectedly experience sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). It facilitates CPR to adults and children while monitoring the ECG results of patients. It’s an outstanding unit. It’s my own personal one.
