About us
History
Since 1936 R.L. Coolsaet Construction Company has been building a record of solid performance in our field. We have qualified personnel, first-class equipment, and available finances to successfully complete any pipeline project from a small diameter to forty-two inch in size. The excellence of our past performances for major oil companies and pipeline firms has prompted them to request our services often in several states across the country. Coolsaet has the experience, expertise, and equipment necessary to handle your next project, from concept through design engineering and fabrication to final installation.
Pipeline
Coolsaet has extensive experience in the laying of pipelines for both natural gas and product lines. We are capable of installing all sizes and types of piping for cross country projects as well as flow meters, gas wells, and gathering systems. We have the equipment and manpower necessary to provide the testing of pipelines that our clients require. In addition to the initial testing, we have also been employed to perform periodic testing for the detection of leaks or other problems. After diagnosis, rehabilitation efforts are undertaken by Coolsaet which effectively repairs the damaged pipeline.
Distribution
In our experiences, we have installed numerous mains for the distribution of gas, residential and commercial gas service lines, and conduits for electricity and telephone. In certain situations, joint trenches are utilized as an alternative to separate utility gas, electric, phone, and cable television. Thus, lowering cost through reduced energy and manpower expenditures. Coolsaet is also skilled in the construction of manholes and the installation of pipe and equipment for town border stations, regulator stations, and regular vaults. Our concern for maintaining the safe condition of pipelines is evidence by our efforts in the areas of corrosion control and renewal work.
Building Trades
For many years Coolsaet has been heavily involved in the installation of piping and related equipment, whether the fabrication has been performed by our forces or supplied for the job. We have installed fabricated piping and mechanical equipment for a wide range of facilities including storage tanks, tank farms, loading racks, metering, pumping and bulk stations, and gas extraction facilities. We are capable of handling all the construction associated with the installation or replacement of equipment for each of these facilities.
Fabrication
Coolsaet Construction has the facilities and equipment on hand to fabricate your piping needs. We offer complete turn-key services to our clients with the added assurance that all welding provided by our tradesmen receives the UA Stamp. Extensive testing of fabrication is performed to ensure piping integrity. Once the strict requirements are met, the equipment or piping is promptly disassembled and shipped to the job site where it is expertly installed by our highly trained personnel.
