Peter Hennig, IPC President & CEO shares the history of the company. “IPC was founded in 2013 in Calgary, Alberta with the idea of using Direct Pipe technology that was developed in Germany by Herrenknecht, the market leader for tunneling equipment manufacturing. IPC started with two projects and then the downturn in the economy came, and the oil and gas sector took a major hit in Alberta. In April 2016, I came over as VP Operations to help turn the business around, which we did and executed more Direct Pipe Installations in Canada than anybody else, in the meantime. In November 2018, we amalgamated with a strategic partner, the Bothar Group, one of the biggest micro-tunneling contractors in the world.
