Protect Pipeline Crews on Icy ROWs, Stations, and Remote Winter Routes 

Pipeline work continues in winter across some of the most exposed terrain in industry. Crews inspect and maintain right of way access roads, valve sites, compressor stations, meter skids, and remote crossings where ice forms quickly and surfaces shift underfoot. Snow packed gravel lanes, frozen mud, slick steel grating, icy stairs, and slush that refreezes overnight all raise the risk of slips and falls. These incidents can lead to injuries, delayed inspections, shutdown risk, and costly claims.

Ice Cleats for Pipelines

At Winter Walking, we do not just sell ice cleats. We help pipeline operators and contractors deploy traction solutions that match real field conditions, keeping workers stable, mobile, and ready for winter response. 



Why Pipeline Operations Choose Winter Walking:
 

  • Built for Remote Right of Way Terrain
    PipelineROW travel often involves uneven ground, frozen ruts, compacted snow, icy grass, and gravel access roads. Our traction solutions are chosen to grip on mixed terrain found along ROW routes.

  • Supporting Inspection Schedules and Maintenance Uptime 
    Integrity checks, leak surveys, cathodic protection work, and station maintenance must stay on schedule regardless of weather. Slip incidents remove trained workers from the field and delay critical tasks. A traction program helps crews stay productive through winter.

  • Reliable Grip Around Stations, Valve Sites, and Steel Structures 
    Compressor stations, pump pads, valve platforms, and meter sites include metal stairs, grating walkways, and slick concrete transitions. Winter increases risk on these structures. We help you select traction that supports safe footing at these points.

  • Aligned with Safety KPIs and Regulatory Expectations 
    Pipeline operators track safety performance tightly under OSHA, PHMSA, and internal contractor standards. A proactive traction strategy reduces winter slips and strengthens cold weather readiness.
