OUR HANDS-ON APPROACH Vanderpool Pipeline Engineers Inc. (VPE) is an oil and gas pipeline consulting firm providing project management, engineering, design, integrity management, SCADA programming, construction inspection and general consultation. Our company also provides operations consulting, regulatory compliance, due diligence and expert witness support to the oil and gas pipeline industry. VPE was established in 2003, and has served over 40 clients on roughly 200 different projects. David Vanderpool, President, offers professional engineering credentials and over 25 years of experience focused exclusively on oil and gas pipeline engineering and operations. Other VPE staff and associates offer similar pipeline operations and engineering expertise. VPE offers services in all areas of pipeline design, construction management, inspection, commissioning and operations optimization. We employ individuals with vast experience as pipeline owners and operators. This key difference sets us apart and enables us to provide superior solutions to meet client operating needs. VPE has broad experience in the design, build and start-up of pipelines and pumping stations. We concentrate our efforts on creating solutions for pipeline operators. VPE takes a hands-on approach to assignments. VPE employees and associates bring significant experience as owners/operators of pipeline companies, thus giving VPE the owner’s perspective to more effectively serve clients. The operator’s view and personal ownership of projects are what differentiates VPE from ordinary engineering companies. We take great pride and enjoyment from being in the field. Remote communications have proven ineffective to truly understand construction activities and issues which must be managed in real-time to achieve project goals. Our staff consists of ten to fifteen technical specialists. Employees and associates are hand-picked for their experience, expertise, integrity and self management capabilities.
