Pipeline Equipment Solutions
THEN
*	 Shawn Lowman started Pipeline Equipment Solutions, in 2015,
in Owasso, Okla.
*	 Initially sold timber mats and skids, and heavy and specialty equipment
rentals for the pipeline transmission & distribution market.
*	 First product was the PipeVac Lifting System, a hydraulic-driven vacuum
lifting system that uses the host machine's auxiliary hydraulics to power the
system. PES designed and engineered it, starting in 2015, and launched the
product in 2017.
NOW
*	 Primarily goes by the abbreviation, PES. Shawn's wife, Cassidy,
also works for the company on a project basis.
*	 Serves as a one-stop pipeline source, offering a wide range of goods and
services and specializing in specialty pipeline equipment rental, pipeline
supply sales, timber mat & skid sales (new and used), and certified mat
grading & sorting.
*	 Also offers consulting services and can serve as a manufacturer's
representative, helping get its pipeline product developed and to market -
whether one item or an entire fleet of equipment.
*	 Expanded into the wind energy market and powerline.
*	 Dedicated to delivering exceptional service at competitive prices.

*	 PipeVac Lifting System is currently owned and distributed worldwide by
Darby equipment in Tulsa, Okla.
MILESTONES
*	 PES has experienced steady growth. Following the successful launch of the
PipeVac Lifting System in early 2017, revenue has doubled most years.
*	 Began offering pipeline supplies in 2019, which brought significant growth;
that is until 2020, which was a challenging year for all.
*	 Being elected as an officer of the Pipe Liners Club of Tulsa was a significant
milestone for Shawn, as well as PES. It has helped solidify its place in the
market as a reputable and reliable distributor.
CONNECTIONS
*	 We want to congratulate Underground Construction on your
75th anniversary; that is quite a milestone!
*	 Shawn was introduced to Underground Construction, and several of its
sister publications, in 2007. Several key industry relationships were formed
that are not only still maintained, but most of those people are considered
close friends today.
*	 We cherish the memories we have made with our " underground pub "
friends at all the various industry events, such as DCA, PLCA, and IPLOCA
conventions. We always had a great time and look forward to any event
where we get to see our industry friends.

Pipe Lining Supply
THEN
*	 Started Jan. 2004 by Linda Heisler, in Anaheim, Calif., with only one
employee to answer the phone while Linda was out selling products.
*	 Initially was a CIPP equipment/materials distributor to plumbers,
targeting the Southern California market.
NOW
*	 Have expanded, with locations in California, Missouri and Illinois,
servicing the entire USA. Main headquarters remains in Anaheim.
*	 John and Linda Heisler are still the owners, but have brought on their
daughters, Michelle Strasburg and Pam Eastman.
*	 Offer the same CIPP services as before (lining materials, resin and calibration
tube), but have expanded to include Quik-Shot, Quik-Heater and Quik-Roller,
and a full line of high-speed cable machines, along
with companion tools, compressors, cameras and much more.
