A unique project providing an advanced solution to our customer and their stakeholders.
Scope
When a customer was looking for a solution to efficiently distribute natural gas from two Upstream Suppliers to over 2,500 square miles of territory in southern New Jersey, they partnered with the Kiely Family of Companies to design and build a unique, full-service solution to serve over 390,000 of their customers.
The project consisted of designing and building a new compressor station that connected to the existing 24” pipeline to assist in providing additional volume to support the transmission and distribution system during high demand periods. The station provides the customer with the ability to maintain safe and reliable service to their gas customers.
Challenges
- Design a compressor station that can manage variable pressure and flow rates from upstream suppliers
- Design a system that elevates the pressure in the 24” pipeline to its true MAOP on even the highest demand days
- Provide safe and reliable service in the event of upstream limitations caused by any suppliers
- Complete the project on a tight timeline, designing and building during the COVID-19 pandemics
Solution
Since the Kiely Family of Companies has experience in designing and building compressor stations, we provided our customer with a trusted resource for engineering and inspection services, while also managing a construction contractor of the customer’s choosing. This required multiple teams at KIELY to work seamlessly together with multiple sub-contractors, ultimately providing the same quality service as a full design-build.
Keeping Safety Top of Mind
KIELY faced a unique challenge with this project: it was being designed, constructed, and managed during a global pandemic.
While safety is always paramount at KIELY, we handled this unique situation while keeping our team members and sub-contractors as safe and productive as they would be on a pre-pandemic project.
