Challenge

Jet Fuel Pipeline Reconfiguration for Terminal Supply

Supplying jet fuel to the terminal through an NPS 6 pipeline, which feeds from the existing NPS 8 products pipeline. The original pipeline was installed in the 1950’s to supply other terminals from the refinery. Around the 1990’s the refinery was removed, and tanks retained as a terminal location, at which time the line flow was reversed.

Outcome

Optimized Infrastructure Study and Compliance Planning

The in-depth study for engineering incorporated the evaluation of existing NPS 8 and 6 Energy Transfer pipeline terminals, ensuring a thorough understanding of the existing infrastructure. The development and planning of the concept design and routing were pivotal in optimizing the project's efficiency. Capital cost estimating provided a realistic financial framework, contributing to informed decision-making. Site investigations were conducted with precision, and preliminary regulatory, land, and environmental strategies were developed, laying the groundwork for compliance and sustainability.
