Wood Group's Alliance Engineering Awarded Rice Energy Pipeline Services and Inspection Contract
Posted: 2012-4-10
Wood Group's Alliance Engineering has been awarded a contract to provide a
variety of services for Rice Energy's proposed natural gas pipeline system in
Washington County, Pa. The system includes 6.5 miles of 16" steel pipeline
along with a 12" clean water line, well connect lateral provisions and pipeline
inspection facilities that will transport Marcellus Shale gas from locally drilled
wells to others' sales gas pipelines.
Alliance will provide overall project management for the project, including
coordination of permitting, surveying, engineering, design, procurement and
mapping, as well as construction management and inspection for the new
facilities.
"Alliance's Canonsburg, Pa. office will perform the lead role in Rice's strategic
development of this Marcellus asset locally," said Edmund Hugo Lunde,
president of Alliance. "Our Canonsburg team members average more than 25
years of local experience in overall project management and project execution
strategies that will help ensure a safe, efficient and quality field development
for Rice Energy."
Pre-construction activities for permitting, surveying, engineering design and
procurement of materials will take place through spring 2012. Construction is
scheduled to start thereafter, with the pipeline to be placed into service by fall
2012.
Alliance Engineering provides highly optimized concept-to-completion custom
engineering and design solutions for the oil and gas industry, and past projects
include some of the world's most recognized project developments. With an
emphasis on quality initiatives, cost-effective engineering, and a partnership
approach to customer relationships, Alliance has provided cutting-edge and fit-
for-purpose engineering services for customers worldwide. Alliance offers
services and expertise for: offshore projects, including topsides facilities for
fixed-platforms, FPSOs, semi-submersibles, tension leg platforms (TLP) and
