Women in pipelines: Paving the way

Paola, a senior craft inspector on Enbridge’s Line 3 replacement in Minnesota, has worked in the pipeline industry for 20 years. Two decades ago, she says it was rare to see women in pipelines, “but that has changed so much throughout the years.” This is the first Enbridge project Paola has worked on, and she says her colleagues have been “very welcoming, very warm, helpful, positive, encouraging and respectful. That is the part I really like.”
