The 2021 Pipeline calendar cover featured a Cat PL 87 pipelayer painted red, white and blue as a symbol of unity and support for the pipeline industry.  It is a reminder that we are all in this together and that PLM continues to be a solid resource for the global mainline pipeline construction community.  2020 also marked 15 years for PLM as a Cat dealer who serves the pipeline industry.  The monthly pictures feature a collection of projects that PLM had the privilege of being involved in over the years. We look forward to many more years as your global partner for pipeline solutions.
