The Contractor's Song: Building Pipelines In Rock!
’Cause I’m T.N.T. I’m dynamite / T.N.T. and I’ll win the fight / T.N.T. I’m a power load / T.N.T. watch me explode! -AC/DC

This month our topic fits in well with a whole genre of music and it was hard to pick just one song to weave into this column, so I didn’t. The hits just kept coming to mind so consider this discussion of building pipelines in rock to be an homage to all things rock and roll! The only actual lyrics that I used, I can’t take credit for either, as one of our project managers, Antonio Chaj, developed a safety video for our team doing rock excavation on our pipeline project in Bend, Oregon, and used AC/DC’s “T.N.T.” as his background music, completely appropriate! So, without further delay, let’s dig into the discussion of installing pipelines in rock.
