And the winner is…

A.Hak Beheer B.V.’s photo taken on their 2010,  48” natural gas transport pipeline project in the Netherlands was the winning photo in the 2011 PLM Calendar photo contest.  This beautifully photographed lowering-in crew showcases the new 587Ts PLM supplied to that fleet.

Our thanks to all of the contractors from around the world who participated by submitting their photos.  From over 40 contributions, the judges had to select twelve winning photos. The winners have now been notified and the calendar is in production.  To all contributors who have not won this year, please keep your cameras clicking.  This was such a success, we’ll do it again next year!

Thank you to our judges – Oliver Klinger, President, Oildom Publishing Company, Editor & Publisher Underground Construction, Pipeline News, Pipeline & Gas Journal; Daniel R. Macholan, General Manager, Global Pipeline Caterpillar, Inc. and Mel Ternan, President, PipeLine Machinery International.
