Item 3.01. NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING

On November 15, 2011, Northwest Pipe Company (the “Company”) received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because it did not timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 (the “September Form 10-Q”). The Company has delayed the filing of its September Form 10-Q pending the conclusion of its review of the assumptions relied upon in prior years in determining depreciation expense for equipment using the units of production method.

Under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company has 60 calendar days, or until January 17, 2012, to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Listing Rules. If the Nasdaq Stock Market staff accepts the plan, the Nasdaq staff can grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days, or until May 14, 2012, for the Company to regain compliance. By January 17, 2012, the Company plans to either file its September Form 10-Q or submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance.

The press release issued by the Company on November 15, 2011 is furnished herewith as Exhibit No. 99.1 to this Report.
