American Pipeline Contractors Association

APCA President @KevinLaBauve, @WHCenergy, welcomes 382 association members and family, including 34 first-time attendees, to the Annual APCA Convention this week at the @hyattregency @CoconutPoint in Florida. #energyindustry #pipeline #construction #contractors #suppliers #APCA

@WilliamsUpdates began construction on its long-delayed Northeast Supply Enhancement project last month, looking to add #naturalgas capacity across #Pennsylvania, #NewJersey, and #NewYork. Chris Newman reports for @NGInews. #energyindependence #pipelines naturalgasintel.com/news/williams-…

This will revive part of the #KeystoneXL, the stalled #crudeoil project linking Canadian supply to U.S. #infrastructure. @PipelineandGas has the story. #APCA #energysecurity

President @realDonaldTrump last week granted a Presidential permit authorizing the construction of cross-border pipeline facilities for the proposed Bridger Pipeline Expansion in Montana. #APCA #pipelines #energyindependence pgjonline.com/news/2026/may/…

The system extends from New York state to the Midwest and Southeast and connects major natural gas basins and markets. @PipelineandGas has the story.

@TCEnergy this week approved a $1.5 billion expansion of its Columbia Gas Transmission system, looking to increase #naturalgas capacity to meet rising demand. pgjonline.com/news/2026/may/…

At the Annual APCA Convention last month in Bonita Springs, Fla., the association inducted two industry stars into the #APCA #HallofFame: labor attorney @GregGuidry5, @OgletreeDeakins, and APCA Past President Mark O'Roke, Sunland Construction. americanpipeline.org/?view=article&…

Before the project to replace the Bourne and Sagamore Bridges on Cape Cod, Mass., can begin, some 3 miles of existing natural gas pipelines must be removed and a new 3.4-mile, 16-inch gas line must be built under the Cape Cod Canal. capecodtimes.com/story/news/202…

The paper provides an informed view of where the 811 system is today, how we got there, and what can be done to fix it.

@NULCA_BoD released a blunt and compelling new white paper last week, The System Is Designed to Fail: A Call for Structural Reform in the 811 System, and it is a must-read for anyone who works in pipeline construction. nulca.org/this-system-is…

At the APCA Annual Convention last week, Cy McNeill of @DCC_org told members that he sees "natural gas as playing a key role in making sure that the U.S. continues to lead in AI," but he shares their frustration with permitting timelines. #energysecurity #AI #DataCenters #LNG

@MarkBridgers said that 2026-28 will be "good, possibly great years" for pipeline construction businesses.

Speaking at the APCA Annual Convention last week , @MarkBridgers, @ContinuCap, delivered his Pipeline Construction Market Report, noting that "we are beginning a wave of pipeline construction activity that will persist until at least the end of the Trump administration."

APCA is an OSHA Safety Ambassador, and Dugas recently participated in the agency's Annual Construction Roundtable in Washington, D.C., for discussions on recent industry trends impacting safety and health.

Cliff Dugas, Corporate HSE Director at Sunland Construction and APCA Safety Committee Chair, updates association members on the committee's recent quarterly meetings, which included speakers on hand safety, pipe handling, working at heights, rescue planning, and more.

Guidry said the pipeline construction industry has benefited greatly from a pro-business, pro-energy White House: "From an employment law standpoint, we are better off as employers than we've been in a long time." #EmploymentLaw #laborlaw #educational #Insightful #energyindustry

At the APCA Annual Convention this week in Bonita Springs, Fla., @GregGuidry5, @OgletreeDeakins, describes recent developments in labor and employment law from the White House, Congress, the Supreme Court, NLRB, EEOC, and others.

Bourke explained how pre-mission briefings and post-mission debriefings benefited his squadrons and can do the same for APCA-member businesses.

The 2026 #APCA Convention took off this week in Bonita Springs, Fla., with #keynotespeaker @AB_Bourke, a decorated F-16 fighter pilot who flew missions over #NewYorkCity following 9-11 and an accomplished businessman. #motivational #educational #leadership #communication

@waller_susan will update members on @Natural_Allies, and Jon Draeger will provide a @TCEnergy Pipeline Outlook. Plus lots of time for sunshine, the beach, pools, golf, and relaxed time with friends and colleagues.

The APCA Convention includes enlightening speakers, the Annual Associates Exhibit, and sessions on @governmentaffairs, #employmentlaw, and the #pipelineconstruction market.
