PIPETECH RENTALS,
CANADA
P
ipeTech Rentals is a rental equipment and
consumable provider located in Spruce Grove,
Alberta, Canada. Led by an executive team
comprised of veterans of the Alberta pipeline,
construction, and engineering industries, the company’s
rental fleet is built to accommodate both pipelines and
fluid transfer activities (including hydraulic fracturing,
pipeline hydrotesting, and dewatering).
Recession in the Alberta economy has left the regional
rental equipment market relatively saturated. In order to be
competitive, a business needs equipment that is uniquely
advantageous, and a standard for service that goes above
and beyond what clients are accustomed to receiving.
PipeTech Rentals offers
a range of pipeline support
equipment, including HDD
rollers, cradles, and pullheads.
The company’s HDD roller design
includes corrugated rollers; these
allow for easier manoeuvring of
pipe over uneven terrain and around
horizontal curves, and reduced risk
of damage to the pipe. The corrugated
rubber allows the roller to flex rather than
compromise the integrity of the pipe coating.
Magnetised pipe presents a challenge to
welders by creating arc blow, the
unwanted deflection of a welding arc.
This can cause a variety of faults such as
porosity and incomplete fusion, and can
bring a project to a halt. PipeTech Rentals is
the Canadian distributor of a tool designed
to resolve this issue, which can significantly
affect productivity and weld quality. The
Industrial Degauss IDMAG system is designed to
be easy to use, powerful, and durable. It is able
to demagnetise pipe quickly, so that customers
often return the product earlier than they had
anticipated.
PipeTech Rentals’ fluid transfer equipment
fleet includes pumps ranging from 2 in.
submersible to 10 in. diesel driven. The
company also has an extensive supply of
hoses and fittings in all sizes, including
15 km of 10 in. hose for any long-distance
fluid transfer needs. However, what
brings value to customers seeking
this type of equipment is the Sales
Manager Roger Klug’s diverse
experience-based knowledge,
which is sought after for fluid
transfer systems design.
PipeTech Rentals is also
the Canadian distributor
for Darby Equipment, who
produce a diverse line
of pipeline support
equipment including
benders, line up
clamps, pipe facing
machines, counter
bore machines,
cradles,
induction
heating, and
more.
