About us

Together - delivering sustainable energy infrastructure

With members in more than 40 countries, IPLOCA is proud to represent some 250 of the key players in the onshore and offshore pipeline construction industry worldwide.

Onshore and offshore the pipeline industry has an enviable record of achievement in the face of some significant challenges – geopolitical issues, inhospitable terrain and the lack of qualified manpower. Work in hand includes both huge new pipeline projects and the continued maintenance of older pipelines. The challenges for the industry moving forward are substantial, but consumer demand, improved technologies and new contractor-owner relationships built on frequent dialogue and collaboration through this industry association herald a new era of progress in the delivery of oil, water and gas.

Mission & vision

IPLOCA’s mission is to support the delivery of sustainable energy infrastructure, including pipelineconstruction, by providing a forum for sharing knowledge globally, facilitating business opportunities and innovation, and promoting the highest standards in business ethics, as well as in health, safety, the environment, and corporate social responsibility.

Our vision is to work together to ensure the sustainable growth of our member companies and shape the industry as an authority on topics related to sustainable energy infrastructure, including pipeline construction.
