Ruskin has developed, at the request of its major clients, the ability and expertise to provide aerial pipeline crossing solutions when conventional methods are not viable. The Oil & Gas pipeline industry required a safe, environmentally sound and operational efficient option of installing pipelines at sensitive water crossings. Ruskin responded to the Industry with the engineering and construction solution that would guarantee pipeline construction need not be stopped at sensitive water crossings. With planning, the aerial pipeline structures can meet the requirements of the environmental agencies and be constructed in a relatively tight time frame to meet the critical schedules presented by the industry in the short construction season. The best part of the aerial pipeline option is that it can be offered to a client as a guaranteed solution with a fixed price and schedule.


In many instances the aerial pipeline structures become multi purpose structures. Ruskin can provide vehicle or ATV bridges incorporated with the primary pipeline purpose. This multi tasking of the structure allows for a greater cost benefit, as well as the opportunity of collecting a larger user group for cost sharing. Another benefit of the aerial crossing system is that expansion can be engineered into the structure at a relatively low cost for future development.

Working with Industry and the applicable agencies, aerial pipeline construction has proven to be a solid, cost effective and environmentally accepted alternative.
