With increasingly large pipeline construction projects and a fluctuating market, maintaining a fleet of specialized equipment for pipeline construction is becoming a challenge. This makes the following advantage extra significant for the contractor: with the possibility to rent equipment, customers gain normally have access to well- maintained equipment that meets the latest emission requirements and safety standards. This leads to less maintenance and machine downtime, resulting in direct financial benefits for the project owner.
