AMERICA’S PIPELINERS

Since its inception in 1957, WHC Energy Services’ mission has been to achieve a sustained, yet well managed growth which allows us to continually provide a level of unequalled service to our customers.  Over the years WHC has expanded not only into different divisions but spread its geographic footprint throughout the United States.

Based out of Louisiana, WHC became the expert in laying pipelines underwater.  This type of challenging terrain allowed the company to rapidly grow and implement pipeline construction installations across the country. Today, WHC’s experience in the industry, excellent safety record, tenured staff, and key relationships have allowed the company to expand. More than just pipeliners, WHC provides complete solutions to any pipeline, facility, or maintenance need, regardless of project size.

Most recently, WHC was acquired by Surerus Murphy, which is based in Calgary, Alberta, and made up of Partners Surerus Group of Canada and Murphy Group of the United Kingdom.  This acquisition brings a new chapter to all three companies, combining global experience in world-class infrastructure and pipeline construction with pioneering American pipeline and energy related construction success, creating a “Center of Excellence for North American infrastructure construction.” For more information on Surerus Murphy Joint Venture, visit www.surerus-murphy.com.
