Why Choose Us

VALUE. SAFETY. INNOVATION.

DO IT ONCE. DO IT RIGHT. TOGETHER.

Value

Value is a multifaceted word that most everyone understands, but no two people will describe it the same way. For Dekalb Pipeline, value is related to the assessment of the benefits brought by something in relation to the resources needed to achieve it. It is the balance between the benefits expected of a project and the cost it takes to get it. The company's goal is to provide that balance. Dekalb Pipeline strives to exceed the expectations of the client for a cost that reflects the job received. When expectations are exceeded, value is realized.

Safety

Safety doesn’t happen by accident; it is a culture based on commitment. A safe job site and an overall safe project requires extensive planning, communication, and coordination.

Dekalb has an exceptional safety record with over a decade and a half without a loss time accident. This has resulted in a low EMR, and the ability to be considered for some of the most safety stringent projects.

To achieve these results, Dekalb places an emphasis on employee training to increase competency, safety, and productivity. Training includes confined space, competent person, OSHA 10 hour, and traffic control/flagging. Ensuring our employees make it home each night the same way they arrive each morning is a significant priority of Dekalb Pipeline.

SafeLand USA

SafeLandUSA offers interactive education and training programs to promote safety best practices, reduce worksite injuries, and eliminate accidental deaths through education. DPL offers SafeLand training to its employees.

Innovation

While many industries have been quick to adapt to the digital age, construction has kept a very slow pace. One thing has become clear — those that fail to innovate are destined to fail.

Dekalb Pipeline Company works smarter — maximizing accuracy and keeping quality and costs in check by working proactively rather than reactively. Whether it’s incorporating new ideas into already established systems, or completely transforming how something is done, we wholeheartedly embrace innovation.
