Item 3.01.

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

As previously disclosed, Northwest Pipe Company (the “Company”) received a staff determination letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) on May 11, 2010 stating that, because of the Company’s delinquencies in filing certain periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Company’s common stock would be suspended from trading on the Nasdaq unless the Company requested an appeal of the Nasdaq staff’s delisting determination. Also as previously disclosed, the Company requested an appeal of the Nasdaq staff’s delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, and the hearing before the Hearings Panel occurred on June 24, 2010. Also as previously disclosed, on July 23, 2010, the Company received from Nasdaq the written decision of the Hearings Panel, which stated that the Hearings Panel had determined to continue the listing of the Company’s shares on Nasdaq, subject to the condition that the Company, on or before November 8, 2010, file with the SEC all of its delinquent periodic reports.

The Company received a letter from Nasdaq on September 7, 2010 (the “Correction Letter”) stating that the July 23, 2010 written decision of the Hearings Panel reflected an error in the calculation of the November 8, 2010 compliance date. The Correction Letter states that November 4, 2010, not November 8, 2010, is the date by which the Company must file its delinquent reports with the SEC in order to avoid delisting from Nasdaq.
