Spencer Voisin, CNC Machinist at Argus, recently earned the Sandvik Coromant Leadership Prize for his performance in the Machinist Program at NAIT.

“This award is recognition for the hard work, dedication, initiative, and leadership skills I displayed during the fourth year of my apprenticeship. It is a great feeling to be recognized for my abilities, and I am grateful to everyone who has helped guide me in my career to get to this point.”

Congratulations, Spencer!

The Argus team just wrapped up day two at PPIM!

We have had a great time showing attendees how our pig valves and multi-pig launchers work using our one-of-a-kind miniature demos. We also have a full-scale 8” pigging valve on display for a closer look.

Our live demos cover:
🔹Emissions Reduction Opportunities
🔹Automated Pigging Workflows
🔹Operational Cost Savings
🔹ILI Compatibility

If you are at the show and did not get a chance to stop by, we will be here tomorrow for the final day of the exhibition.

📍Booth 311
🕒9:00 AM to 2:00 PM
🏢George R. Brown Convention Center

See you there!

We are looking forward to PPIM 2026 and invite you to attend as our guest.

Stop by Booth 311 to meet the Argus team. We look forward to sharing our field-proven pigging technologies that help operators enhance pipeline reliability, reduce vented emissions, and streamline inspection and maintenance programs.

💡 How can a small design change strengthen decades of performance?

Innovation has shaped Argus since the beginning, and one meaningful example comes from 2004, when founder Tommy Hallett patented an improved rotating stem for our pigging valves. The original flat hex design connected to the ball and allowed operators to send or retrieve the pig. It worked, but the flat-to-flat fit could bind at times, making rotation less consistent.

Mr. Hallett’s redesigned system solved that by adding a curved trunnion above the hex. That simple engineering shift removed the interference and delivered a smoother, more reliable rotation.

Today, this design still supports our 2” - 6” 600 ASME pigging valves and reflects a principle at the core of Argus: innovation happens when we study how equipment performs in the field and refine it to make operators work safer, easier, and more efficient.

🎃 Spooky season is back!

The Argus crew are dusting off the carving kits and unleashing their inner artists for our annual Pumpkin Carving Contest — the battle for the “Spookiest Pumpkin” is officially on! 👻

Last year’s pumpkins set the bar pretty high — check them out below if you dare. We cannot wait to see what creative (or creepy) designs show up this time around!

🎉 Argus turns 67 today!

This milestone is about more than time—it’s about people.

Back in 1977, our employees manually moved a brand-new Mori Seiki NC Lathe into the shop—something that would look very different today. That spirit, however, remains the same: teamwork, ingenuity, and a drive to move Argus forward.

Since 1958, our teams have built Argus into a trusted global partner in pipeline, pressure, cementing, and manufacturing solutions. Their dedication is what carries us into the future.

If you’ve been part of the Argus journey, share your memories and stories in the comments. We’d love to hear them.

💙 Our annual employee golf tournament shows that when Argus people come together, good things happen both on the course and in the community.

This year’s Malcolm Buchanan Memorial Golf Tournament welcomed employees, friends, and family for a day of fun, laughter, and friendly competition.

This event carries Malcolm’s name in honour of his memory. As a respected plant manager, a driving force for LEAN initiatives, and a dedicated golfer, he left a lasting mark on Argus. Renamed after his passing from cancer, the tournament continues to celebrate both his contributions and his love for the game.

The best part of this year’s event? Through raffles, 50/50, and mulligans, we raised $1,640 for the Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the day’s success. It was a true reflection of what it means to be .

Big pigs saving big emissions.

One of our midstream partners was looking to replace aging barrel traps on their gas lines in the Rockies. These 20 inch 600 ASME pig valves were the solution, reducing vented volumes and simplifying pigging operations. The result is safer and lower-emission pipeline maintenance in the field.

Golf season is in full swing, and we’ve been making the most of it!

It has been a great few months connecting with our distributors, partners, and customers at sponsored tournaments across Canada and the USA.

Some of these events support amazing charitable causes, while others have been fantastic opportunities to network and catch up with industry friends. Whether we are handing out the ever famous Wilhauk beef jerky, snapping photos in the booth, or raffling off a Texas mickey of Crown Royal (which drew a crowd), it has been a blast getting out on the green with you all.

Thank you to everyone who has stopped by the Argus tent so far. We are looking forward to the rest of the season!

40 pigs for 40 pipelines.

Neatly lined up, these 3-, 4- and 6-inch pig valves will be heading out to gathering pipelines across Western Canada.

Soon, they will be hard at work helping operators maintain steady flow and reduce emissions. Regular pigging keeps infrastructure running efficiently, and we are proud to support that every step of the way.

We brought our Multi-Pig Launcher (MPL) demo trailer to North Dakota to show how automated pig launching can support integrity teams working on remote or high-frequency lines.

The MPL is designed to automate routine pigging operations safely, consistently, and without manual intervention, allowing operators to:

◼️ Maintain pigging schedules,

◼️ Reduce windshield time,

◼️ Reduce OPEX by up to 87%,

◼️ Lower emissions by up to 97%.

If you're managing pipeline integrity and looking to reduce field time, improve consistency, or assess feasibility for remote pigging, this could be a solution.

Send us a message, and we will give you a live on-site demo.

Sustainable Pigging on Display at AIMCS EXPO 2025 🛠️🌍

We’ve just wrapped up an impactful showing at the Asset Integrity Management Conference & Expo (AIMCS) 2025 in Abu Dhabi — and what a week it was!

From engaging conversations to technical deep dives, the Argus was proud to stand alongside some of the energy sector’s brightest minds showcasing our pigging solutions. Our VP of Innovation & Technology, Jason Weiss, delivered a powerful presentation on pigging previously unpiggable pipelines — showcasing how automatic pig launchers and compact pig valves are enabling sustainable operations and long-term pipeline integrity.

While at our booth, we showcased these advanced technologies, designed to:

✔️ Extend pipeline lifecycle and support infrastructure sustainability
✔️ Enable pigging on previously unpiggable or complex pipelines
✔️ Reduce emissions and improve safety through simplified operations

A big thank you to the AIMCS EXPO organizers and everyone who stopped by to connect, learn, and collaborate. We’re proud to contribute to the global conversation on achieving asset integrity through sustainable innovation.

📍Missed us at the show? DM us to receive event highlights, including the whitepaper we discussed during the conference.

Let’s talk about how we can help turn the unpiggable into piggable — and make your integrity program smarter, safer, and more sustainable.
