Jamey Wade
President
Jamey has led Appalachian Pipeline for more than 17 years, keeping the company privately held and focused on doing the work right. He is one of the owners you actually get on the phone.
About
Privately owned, owner-run, and built to handle the big work.
Appalachian Pipeline Contractors is a pipeline construction company based in Gallatin, Tennessee, building for the oil, gas, and energy industries. A lot of our people came up through the old pipeline companies, and that experience runs deep on our crews. What sets us apart now is how we are built: privately owned and owner-run.
Most of the contractors we compete against are publicly traded, and a handful of big parent companies own most of them. We are not one of those. Being independent keeps our overhead lean, our decisions fast, and our owners reachable. When you call us, you are not working your way through layers of corporate. You are talking to the people who run the company.
Josh Wyatt
VP of Engineering
Josh runs engineering and is the company's licensed drone pilot. He is the one most likely to walk a client through an EPC scope and tell them straight what is realistic on schedule, permits, and cost.
Lowell Brien
VP of Construction
Lowell brings 25-plus years in pipeline construction, much of it coming up through the field. He runs the crews and knows what it actually takes to stack a job, whether it is 20 miles or 60.
The people behind the work
The crew that runs it.
Down-to-earth people who do the work and answer the phone. That is the whole idea behind staying privately owned.

How we work
We are a union contractor, signatory to four crafts, which means trained, qualified people on the right of way. We can self-perform across the scope of a job, and we scale spreads and crews to the project, from short runs to large-diameter cross-country mainline. We do not love being labeled a "small" contractor, because the way you stack a 20-mile job and a 60-mile job is the same. It comes down to crews and superintendents, not just the line on the map.
Mostly, we are straight with people. We will tell you what is realistic, what we would do, and what we would not. That honesty is how this industry actually works, and it is how we have kept the relationships that built this company.
