Expertise

Upstream Services

Your upstream oil and gas projects continue to increase in scale and complexity. You need a trusted partner to help navigate each project’s unique challenge. Our professionals are dedicated to developing the best solutions with a focus on safety. We have provided engineering services on thousands of projects throughout all of the major U.S. oil and gas basins. With a nationwide network of offices, we can initiate services easily and quickly. As a result, we have become the preferred environmental, geotechnical, and materials engineering consultant for a diverse group suppliers. Your projects benefit from our experience in developing innovative and time-sensitive solutions, and our ability to meet tight schedules and budgets.

The following specialty services are routinely performed by our upstream team:

Midstream Services

The requirements of design and building long, multi-state linear projects can be complex. We are your trusted partner, frequently collaborating with integrated teams of midstream, exploration and production, engineering firms, program managers, and contractors. We work to create efficiencies for large-scale projects and deliver projects on time and on budget. Our project experience includes the spectrum of services necessary for the site, permitting, design, construction, and operational phases of pipeline transmission and product storage. Our experienced scientists and engineers are here to help navigate the requirements of local regulatory, geologic, and environmental regulations.
Our midstream team provides hundreds of pipeline and infrastructure services in the past two years including:

• Environmental
  • Secondary spill response and remediation
  • Asbestos surveys and abatement management
  • Water and wastewater management
  • Industrial hygiene and safety support
  • Facility response plan preparation/SPCC
  • GHG reporting and air quality support
• Geotechnical
  • Site exploration and investigation
  • Geohazard assessment and mitigation PDF
  • Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) design and High Flux Isotope Reaction (HFIR) analyses
  • Compressor/pump foundation design
  • Dynamic soil response and testing
  • Tank foundation design and ground improvement
  • Engineering geophysics and top of rock studies
• Materials
  • Field inspection and testing of construction materials
  • Diagnostic investigation and evaluation of in-place construction materials
  • Laboratory testing services

Downstream Services

Working in a large refinery or liquid natural gas (LNG) export facility requires extensive experience and a focus on safety not required on most green field sites. You can rely on our experienced professionals to utilize best-in-class safety management system to provide critical engineering and environmental consulting. We have provided detailed geotechnical engineering studies, on-site materials laboratory testing services, and critical soil and groundwater monitoring programs at hundreds of sites across the country. Our work includes yearly maintenance programs, plant expansions, and development of new world class facilities.
