How we work

Your pipeline. There’s nowhere else we’d rather be. 

Our team doesn’t just know this work — we live for it. From deep digs to tight tie-ins, we bring a level of pride, precision and purpose to every project our clients can feel. 

And that mindset? It changes everything. We plan harder. We solve faster. We work tirelessly towards your end goal like we’re members of the team. Because we are. When the crew in the ditch actually wants to be there, you get safer work, stronger outcomes and smoother turnarounds every time. 

A better process designed for real-world pressure

Charps projects don’t run on autopilot. They run on intention. We plan like owners, communicate like teammates and finish like our name’s on every weld. Here’s how:

1

Before: Plan with purpose

Other contractors might give you a lump sum and a shrug. Before our projects start, we walk the site, flag any potential issues and talk through permits, access points, equipment timelines and specs with the entire operator-side team. Then we build a schedule based on facts (not hopes) and share it up front. 

“We ask the right questions. Even the uncomfortable ones.”
— Anthony Petersen, Vice President

During: Collaborate and execute

You’ll never be left wondering what’s going on. Our crews keep live tracking on every weld, every repair and every stage of the job. We work hand-in-hand with our clients, holding weekly meetings, providing real-time updates and ensuring field-wide visibility — not just in reporting, but in decision-making. If something shifts, you’ll know about it. If there’s a better way to get it done, we’ll bring it to the table.

“Our crews don’t get pieced together last-minute. They’ve trained together, worked together and solve problems as one.” 

— Bryan Newby, Project Manager

After: Leave it better than we found it

We don’t treat punch lists like paperwork. At Charps, closeout is a craft — and it’s backed by the same discipline we bring to planning and execution. From cleanup and coating touch-ups to final grade and full restoration, we leave every site better than we found it.

But the real differentiator? Our documentation. We don’t just hand over a summary — we deliver full lifecycle records that detail every weld, every test, every repair, and every spec followed along the way.

If it’s in the dirt, it’s in our DNA

From legacy gas lines to new renewable builds, Charps handles the tough scopes across the full energy infrastructure spectrum.

  • Gas transmission operators
  • Liquid pipeline operators
  • Midstream facilities
  • Renewable energy infrastructure
  • Utility and power generation

What to know before we break ground

Fast. Our crews are cross-trained and ready to move. If it’s an emergency or time-sensitive need, we’re used to responding in hours, not days.

We don’t wait for surprises. Our teams are well-versed in local, state, and federal permitting needs, and we coordinate early with engineering firms and regulatory bodies. We also use tools like Truck Tools® to access live spec data and ensure compliance from day one.

Openly and often. We provide weekly status meetings, daily field updates, and live tracking of every weld, repair and test. You’ll always know where the job stands — and if conditions change, we bring options to the table, not excuses.

Every crew includes Excavation Competent Persons, Confined Space-trained professionals and HAZWOPER-certified members. Whether we’re working around legacy utilities, live pipe, or contaminated groundwater, we bring experience and protocols to do it safely.

We adapt — without losing momentum. We’re known for flexing our workforce up or down based on real-time needs. If equipment is delayed, we re-sequence work to stay productive without inflating costs or pushing timelines.

Yes. From site civil to final recoats, we do full-scope projects with in-house capabilities and certified specialists. Our teams are qualified in Denzo, SPC, KMA, Carboline, Sherwin-Williams coatings, etc., as well as composite repairs including Clock Spring, A+ Wrap, and Omega repairs.

Where the rubber meets the road

Anyone can talk values. We prove ours in the field — through the way we plan, the way we communicate and the way we finish strong every time. When operators say Charps is different, this is what they mean.
