Cross-Country Gas Pipeline
120+ pipeline welders, NDT technicians, and supervision staff deployed for a major gas pipeline. Full mobilization across multiple spreads completed in 10 days.
India’s pipeline network is expanding rapidly — driven by GAIL’s national gas grid, CGD expansion under PNGRB, and crude pipeline infrastructure. Metro supplies mainline welders, NDT inspectors, and pipeline construction crews for both cross-country and city gas networks.




Metro Manpower supplies technical manpower for both cross-country pipeline projects and urban CGD network construction across India. Pipeline projects stretch across hundreds of kilometres of diverse terrain, requiring specialised manpower for mainline welding, testing, and commissioning.
Quality is paramount — a single defective weld on a high-pressure gas pipeline can have catastrophic consequences. Metro’s pre-verified welders are qualified against client-specific WPS before deployment, cutting rejection rates on the pipeline spread. We supply 6G/6GR downhill and uphill welders, SAW and orbital operators, and complete station piping crews.
CGD networks are expanding into hundreds of new geographical areas under PNGRB, creating sustained demand for pipeline construction and commissioning manpower at unprecedented scale. Our technicians understand CGD-specific safety, PE pipe fusion procedures, and regulatory inspection requirements.
We cover the full pipeline lifecycle — mainline welding, tie-in welding, hydrotesting, coating inspection, cathodic protection, and station piping for compressor and metering facilities. Crews mobilised across multiple spreads with field supervisors managing accommodation, transport, and rotation.
From mainline welders to CGD technicians — tell us your pipeline scope. First CVs in 48 hours, crews mobilized in under 2 weeks.
From cross-country mainline welding to urban CGD networks to station piping — we supply the full spectrum of pipeline roles.
Mainline welding, pipe laying, tie-in welding, and hydrotesting for crude oil, natural gas, and product pipelines — API 1104 welding, coating inspection, cathodic protection, and pigging.
PE pipe laying, steel service lines, regulating stations, and metering stations for urban gas distribution networks — PNGRB standards, PE pipe fusion, pressure testing, and gas detection.
Compressor stations, metering stations, pig launcher/receivers, and storage terminal piping — station piping, equipment installation, control systems, and safety instrumentation.

Pipeline section hydrotesting, pressure-test planning, dewatering, drying, and nitrogen purging for gas-pipeline commissioning.
Spread supervisors, section engineers, and construction managers for cross-country pipelines — crew, logistics, and safety oversight.
CIPS, DCVG, impressed-current and sacrificial-anode systems — installation, commissioning, and annual survey of CP networks.
DGPS and total-station surveyors for pipeline alignment, ROW marking, tie-in stationing, and as-built documentation.
PE pipe fusion (butt and electrofusion), steel service lines, regulating and metering stations for urban CGD networks — PNGRB compliant.
ROW safety, hot-work on live lines, confined-space attendants, and PTW coordinators for pipeline spreads and station work.
For cross-country gas, crude, and product pipelines we mobilize 100–200+ welders, NDT, and supervision staff across multiple spreads within 10 days. API 1104 compliant, WPS-verified, and deployed with field supervisors managing accommodation, transport, and rotation.
For PNGRB-governed CGD projects we supply PE pipe technicians, steel pipeline crews, and station construction staff for multiple geographical areas in parallel — regulating and metering stations, service lines, and commissioning.
From cross-country gas pipelines to CGD networks and station construction — proven across India’s pipeline sector.
Supplying pipeline manpower wherever India’s energy infrastructure is growing — from GAIL’s national gas grid and PNGRB-regulated CGD networks to cross-country crude and product pipelines.










Active deployment across India’s pipeline corridors — Western India gas pipelines, CGD networks in North India, compressor stations in Gujarat, product pipelines across Central and Eastern India — and international pipeline projects.
Pipeline and CGD projects demand distributed coordination, weld quality, and PNGRB compliance. Here’s how Metro’s 19-year approach directly solves them.
Pipeline projects span hundreds of km. Metro deploys crews with field supervisors at multiple spread locations, managing accommodation, transport, and rotation — so every spread stays productive and the schedule holds.
Pipeline weld rejection directly impacts schedule. Metro’s pre-verified welders reduce rejection rates — because we verify qualifications against your specific WPS, pipe grade, and diameter before deployment.
CGD projects operate under PNGRB standards. Our technicians understand CGD-specific safety, PE pipe fusion procedures, and regulatory inspection requirements — ready for audits, not just for work.
We study your organization, site environment, and work culture to ensure technical and cultural fit.
We map exact roles, disciplines, certifications, experience levels, and deployment timeline.
We screen our 20,000+ database and deliver qualified, pre-vetted CVs within 48 hours.
We manage offers, documentation, certification verification, and logistics for site mobilization.
Post-deployment, we monitor performance, resolve issues, and maintain the relationship.
