Pipeline construction involves a complex range of technical construction works that include pre-construction planning, implementation of the actual construction work and finally carrying out post-construction assignments. All of these phases require the skill and expertise of dedicated engineers, project managers, general contractors as well as construction laborers. During the planning phase of a pipeline construction project, engineers focus on coming up with blueprints after carefully surveying the land site where the pipeline is to be constructed. Numerous essential factors, such as size, type, and overall composition of pipeline as well as methods to minimize the environmental impacts are to be considered during this stage.

At the pre-construction stage, the project owners are required to ask for bids from numerous qualified pipeline contractors. Based on the rates offered, certain contractors will be chosen and they will need to obtain the proper permits along with insurance before they start working on the project. The actual construction phase can be divided into three main stages. During the first stage, the land is cleared for grading and then trenches are dug at various places. In the second stage, the construction laborers carry out stringing and welding of the pipes and then install all the connected pipes on the trenches. During the third and last phase testing of the pipelines is carried out. This is then followed by backfilling the trenches and then restoring the land area to its original state. A trunk line meant for transporting gas and oil is also constructed in the same manner. Both pipelines and trunk lines are needed to be constructed by the best engineering teams for the passage of oil, gas and a wide range of other petroleum components.

Apart from pipeline construction, tank construction is another form of intensive project that is often carried out by professionals who are involved in large scale underground developments. Tanks can be used for a number of different purposes, such as water storage, crude storage and natural gas storage. Among the different uses for which tanks are constructed, water storage deserves special mention as in many places of the earth it is of utmost importance to preserve water for being used by the people. Specially made tanks help to preserve water from underground resources and make it suitable for being used in a multitude of ways. Both small and large tanks are built for the storage of water and different types of crude materials.
