Sheehan is not only the oldest pipeline contractor in the nation, but in the past 24 years has become one of the nation's largest pipeline contractors. Sheehan has completed more than 3200 miles of mainline construction and has tested or rehabilitated over 3,000 miles of pipeline in the last 15 years. Our ability to complete any project on time and at a competitive price has enabled us to maintain such a record of performance.

We maintain four large cross-country spreads capable of building up to 42" pipe. In addition, we also can staff two smaller rehabilitation or testing spreads.

Our flexibility is emphasized by the fact that we annually work in over 12 states from coast to coast. We have the equipment and the manpower to adapt to almost any type of project.

Sheehan again proved its innovation ability when it became the first gas pipeline contractor to use Micro-Tunneling. We completed the nearly 700' of 42" pipe, crossing the Rock Slough in California.
