Willow Lake Métis Group is proud to offer comprehensive pipeline installation and integrity services across Alberta’s energy sector. With a foundation rooted in Indigenous values, we provide safe, reliable, and sustainable infrastructure support to oil, gas, and utility clients operating in complex environments. Our team combines years of technical expertise with a community-first approach to deliver services that meet the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and environmental stewardship.
Full-Service Pipeline Installation You Can Rely On
Pipeline infrastructure is a cornerstone of Alberta’s energy industry, and its successful execution requires precision, compliance, and a deep understanding of terrain and environmental conditions. Willow Lake Métis Group offers full-cycle pipeline construction services, including:
Site Preparation and Access
Our team begins by preparing the site, ensuring safe access routes and clear working zones. This includes vegetation management, soil stabilization, and route planning that takes local ecosystems and Indigenous land concerns into account.
Trenching and Pipe Assembly
We use advanced equipment and trained crews to perform trenching operations and pipe assembly. All welds are done according to certified engineering standards, and thorough inspections are conducted at every stage to guarantee structural integrity.
Testing and Backfilling
Hydrostatic and other non-destructive testing methods are used to ensure the pipeline’s integrity before backfilling. Our backfilling procedures protect both the pipeline and the surrounding environment from long-term erosion or damage.
Site Restoration
Once installation is complete, we restore the site to its original condition or better. This includes replanting, grading, and erosion control to minimize any lasting environmental impact.
Proactive Pipeline Integrity Services
In addition to installation, Willow Lake Métis Group provides a full suite of pipeline integrity services designed to monitor, maintain, and repair critical infrastructure. We understand the serious risks associated with pipeline leaks and failures, which is why our services are built on early detection, rapid response, and preventative maintenance.
Inspection and Monitoring
We employ state-of-the-art inspection technologies to detect issues such as corrosion, cracking, and mechanical damage. Routine inspection schedules ensure pipeline systems are continually monitored for developing threats.
Maintenance and Repair
Our field crews are trained to handle both planned maintenance and emergency repairs, ensuring minimal disruption to operations. Services include cathodic protection, coating applications, leak repairs, and replacement of pipeline segments as needed.
Risk Assessment and Compliance
We assist clients in identifying and mitigating risks through comprehensive integrity assessments, regulatory compliance audits, and data analysis. Our services align with Alberta’s stringent safety and environmental regulations.
Safety as a Core Principle
At Willow Lake Métis Group, safety is more than a priority—it is embedded into every aspect of our operations. We follow strict safety protocols during all pipeline activities, including hazard identification, site-specific risk assessments, and continuous safety training for all personnel.
We also actively engage with local stakeholders to ensure all work aligns with community expectations and environmental concerns. This inclusive approach promotes safer worksites and enhances trust between industry partners and Indigenous communities.

Our partnerships create lasting value for Indigenous communities through business development, revenue sharing, and procurement strategies that elevate local suppliers and contractors.
Environmental Stewardship
We recognize the importance of protecting traditional lands. Our team incorporates traditional knowledge into environmental planning and continuously looks for ways to reduce our ecological footprint during pipeline construction and maintenance.
