Project Experience
We work closely with operators, construction partners and regulators to streamline installation. Our proven approach simplifies construction, reduces right of way constraints and minimizes disruption.
Enbridge AGT R-1 Lateral - Class 3
Rehabilitation of an unpiggable one-mile pipeline in a densely populated neighborhood, with a nearby creek and Amtrak railway.
The Challenge: A 60-year-old, non-piggable natural gas pipeline located within a Class 3 residential area required rehabilitation. The pipeline traversed a complex urban corridor adjacent to an active Amtrak rail system and included a creek crossing, creating significant access and construction constraints.
Nicor Gas Illinois River Crossing
Rehabilitations under navigable waterways and environmentally sensitive wetlands.
The Challenge: Nicor Gas identified two 81-year-old, non-piggable natural gas pipelines requiring rehabilitation beneath the Illinois River. The river crossing created a significant access and construction challenge, requiring a solution that could restore the aging infrastructure while minimizing excavation, environmental disturbance and impact to the surrounding waterway.
Enbridge ETNG Rura Lateral - Class 3
Rehabilitation of an unpiggable .64 mile pipeline that traversed a commercial orchard and a nearby community.
The 65-year-old pipeline traversed an active commercial orchard, with a right-of-way characterized by multiple lateral and elevation changes. These conditions created significant access and construction challenges, requiring a rehabilitation approach that could navigate the complex alignment while minimizing disturbance to the nearby community and ongoing agricultural operations.
OXY THUMS Crude Oil and Produced Water
Rehabilitation Beneath Active Rail Infrastructure
The Challenge: Within an extremely congested right of way at one of the largest ports in the United States, the operator needed to return both a crude oil pipeline and a produced water pipeline to service. The existing pipelines ran beneath multiple active railroad tracks, creating significant access and construction constraints and making conventional excavation highly disruptive to ongoing port and rail operations.
