Hello there and my name is Susanne and I'm married to a pipe line welder from Italy! He has worked I Africa, Germany and Sweden where we to did meet each other! He has worked in the mountains of Schweiz and in the deserts of Algeria, Iraq and Libya as well as in Nigeria and Somalia among other places!
I worked with 798 hands in the building trades and was impressed by very few of them....Most of them were primadonnas and cry babies who didn't want to get dirty....For the most part, I dreaded to see them coming...There are some good ones I'm sure but I think most of the good ones stay busy on pipeline work....Sorry to say it but that's just the fact of it...
I see that you’re over in my old stomping grounds. North Dakota. We was just over there a little over 3 weeks ago for a little niece of my wife. Her oh so precious age of 4. And since we was going over, One of my good 👍 friends just so happens to be married to one of my wife’s sisters. (He’s a industrial electrician. Out of Local 714, which is in Minot. ) Anybody you know ever needs any information about it let me know. 👯♀️ and when they come over in the spring over here to see us they would bring their boat and leave it. Because we have much bigger and better looking deep deep blue lakes. Here in the very very NW part of Montana where we live. Inside the Yaak Valley. 5 miles from the Canadian border, and 16 and 3/4 miles from the Idaho State line. For the last 30 years I’ve worked in both Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, and, Northern-Utah. Over in North Dakota, and down in Wyoming, I have predominately worked, for Minnesota Limited. As the “Senior-On-Site, HSE Manager. (Contract Safety) I mostly work union but I’ve also done my share of non-union on-site “safety-manager” & “Field-Safety-Coordinator.” In all 3 Refineries over in the Billings area. The Exxon Refinery, Conoco Phillips Refinery, which is now called the Phillips 66 refinery. Conoco spun off its entire refinery division. About, oh, I’d say, right about 4 years ago. And right down the road about 12 miles away, is the cute little town called LAUREL. And there is the Cenex Harvest Refinery. If a man wants to just work in safety in the Billings area and never leave, and work I’d say, oh, Hmmmmmmm 🤔 7 to 8 months out of the year on turn-arounds? He can. He could. I’ve did it. In this industry I’m sure you would agree with me when I say, “it’s definitely who you know.” whereabouts was you / the crew working at over in ND????? I’m sure I will know the area like the back of my hand. Speaking of areas, Minnesota Limited’s office in ND Is over in Berthold. If you have any other questions that may pertain to any of the states that I’ve worked in, pertaining to either companies, or the areas, don’t hesitate to ask me. Glad to help.

I love what you do. It is true that the weather is different in my country, Tunisia, North Africa. I am used to working in the desert. It's very hot, but now I'm in Canada. I have to adapt to cold weather.
I use to live in Washington State right on the border of Canada ... the Pacific Northwest, I loved the seasons there, so much rain and humidity. I did my first pipeline in 2006, 36" as a laborer, where I met my Soudeur Dennis Stiles and then transferred into the Pipeliners Local Union 798....I have traveled the country for the last 15 years and found the weather in that video you watched wasn't bad if you knew how to layer up!...so curious if you have women working with you at all? I was a Welders Helper, and speaking of HOT desert work...watch those videos of us doing a hot tie in 120° was the high that day, and inspectors making sure that pipe was kept at a temperature of 350°. . . Crazy...thought I was going to die...would rather work in the cold!
@@CherylAnn798 Yes, I am proud of what I did. I don't know if I can do that here because I'm used to very hot weather, and here in Quebec it's very cold. You cannot work in the lines or at the refinery, so I would like to work in Texas if I could of course love this job and would like to make an imprint on this profession. nice to meet you my dear
I dated a guy 955'er Enbridge Line 3 Replacement, 249 km 36" test completed in 5 monthz, 2018 Sept to Dec, mechanical clean up done by Mar 15, 2019 now that was a rocking pipeline crew with 0 lost time incidentz
I think I'd get bored welding down all the time. Everyone's got a hard-on for 798 'liners. Well we'd show you a thing or two over here in LU475, shoved up in some pipe rack making a 2in heliarc butt weld. When it's the middle of January in the refinery, the only heat is in the tools. All honesty though, looked like a good job done by some good UA brothers and sisters.
I worked in the Ferndale, Washington Refinery as a Laborer .... we did fire watch for the welders huddled up in their little tents... Met a 798er on a Main line that ran out of Canada...been ever since! Stay safe brother....
I have often wanted to join the union, but never knew how to approach it since im already a non union pipe welder.... nothing against non union but i just keep on running into jobs were there is no quality control or even pride in the work taking place and im tired of it.

You are a dumb ass when they are laying down doing the over head weld they are straining the shit out of their neck and arm muscles it is not comfortable at all
im sure it is just like you! im only busting youre chops. I was referring to the crew members. "most of us" are hard workers and take pride in our work. Back in my day we never had the help like the union today and the work was much more quick and laborious per individual. Yes we guarded our territory because our pace made our style. Quick and well done! Heres to the 798'er's. Keep the name going.
I am a helper....my husband was the foreman on this job so I floated around helping different welders.... obviously, you don't know much about working on the pipeline...we laid 80 miles of pipe on this job! Guess you're a hater ... of 798ers!
In case you didn't see the snow blowers that were clearing the ROW .... they had to dig the pipe out before we could weld it...of course there was some down time...many snowball fights..but in the end...798 Got er Done!
Video proof that unions waste more time, more resources and more money than any reasonable person could understand. I left that atmosphere because the unions continually protected incompetence.
@@CherylAnn798 Thats funny that you would just assume that I dont know anything about what you do... You sound like an automatic defender! Regardless of anyone elses knowledge or feelings youre gonna just lay that pipe, no matter what the cost! Keep being your destructive self, you fit right in with the rest of the careless creatures. ^.^

7 days, 9 welds, 8 repairs.
I respect the 798 and would love to be in it in the coming years

Ol pipeline
Gravy, Gravy, Gravy, getting all of that gravy work. Welding 35 years and never seen such gravy.
The real gravy was the $$$$$$$$$
Nothing gravy about being in -45° temperatures....slow going due to the snow drifts that plugged the pipe!
Oh yes you have. We all have. Anyone that stays in this business long enough will see there share of gravy-train-job-sites.
I’m not a 798 welder but I am a AAA welder union 40 years

Should have been poll watchers this last election.
798 hands are great people to work with I know because I worked with them in Pa., and this is coming from a Boilermaker!!

798 all the way
My father was a 798 hand. Respect.
I have often wanted to join the union, but never knew how to approach it since im already a non union pipe welder.... nothing against non union but i just keep on running into jobs were there is no quality control or even pride in the work taking place and im tired of it.
Tim Westendorf
Make a change...call the Pipeliners Union all it takes a an application...let me know if I can help!
Cheryl Ann Lager will do thank you!
I'm certified in 6 position 6010 root uphill 7018 fill and cap I know you guys weld 5 g with 6010-8010 but how would I get an application
@@tird108 798 website. You file for membership on there
Tim, How long have you been a “Certified” “Pipe” Line-Welder????
Cheryl but what is the advantage of using them considering arc strikes on the pipe

No internal clamp ?
Yes we used internal clamps...when applicable!
What the heck is with the stingers with no insulation on them
matt harper
We only use those if the gas company requests it....
T300 the most comfortable stinger in the world
Was this in tioga?
Yes...
Im working the same job this year we already laid out tiogas line tho. Down in watford now.
@@CherylAnn798 Yep. Worked that area off and on several times.
Looks pretty easy compared to cement work all the time
I wanna be a 798er so bad I can’t stand it.
why so many people stood around??
mikey ash
Because there is time in between each setups...and also at break and lunch times.
What kind of welding rods do they use?
6010, 7010, or 8010 most of the time. Depends what is called for in the w.p.s.
sexy pulgon
They were 70 plus which is a 8010-G rod. ..
Nice cruisey job,they get to lean on the job,and when it gets a bit tiresome ,they a lay down,nice one...……..
You are a dumb ass when they are laying down doing the over head weld they are straining the shit out of their neck and arm muscles it is not comfortable at all
75% of you guys are standing around like duhh??? the ol school 798 er's WERE a good breed. Take it from one.
When you say "old school"... how old ya talking...my welder has been doing this for over 40 years...and yep he is a SEXY THING!
im sure it is just like you! im only busting youre chops. I was referring to the crew members. "most of us" are hard workers and take pride in our work.

Cherly what’s your role as pipeliner ? Too many so call pipeliner s standing around ! That’s 798

Dennis Holliday it’s actually rule #1 that a pipeliner helper must take videos and pictures of their welder.
Video proof that unions waste more time, more resources and more money than any reasonable person could understand. I left that atmosphere because the unions continually protected incompetence.
Really? With the conditions we had on this job, we laid 80 miles of pipe in extreme conditions! I retired this year with BENEFITS! Good Luck Pal....

Could you please stop leaving your metal and oil all over the ground? Lift it up, please! ☝
Please tell me you ride a bicycle and a horse....and you heat your home with wood or electric.....and throw all your products made from oil away!
@@CherylAnn798 Why on Earth would I do that? You must have me messed up. ^.^
