Acknowledgements This book is dedicated to all the individuals who have contributed directly or indirectly to the development of the pipeline construction industry and in recognition of the role played by the International Pipe Line and Offshore Contractors Association (IPLOCA) over the last 50 years. We would like to thank the management of CRC-Evans, in particular Roger Spee, for their sponsorship, Peter Schoonenberg of Pedemex B.V. for his special contribution in publishing this book, and Juan Arzuaga, IPLOCA Executive Secretary, for reading the minutes of 50 years of board meetings. Particular thanks go to Gus Meijer who initiated the idea of presenting a painting to each IPLOCA president and generously took on the development of the book, including collecting all the paintings, organising the sponsorship and making arrangements for printing it, along with the assistance of his son, Maarten who reproduced the paintings in a printable format. Also Gus Meijer worked with Ronald Damen and Jan Ernst Douma to complete the paintings and without whom this book would not have been possible.
