Project was to install a new 10″ pipeline carrying Ethane from the Houston Plant to a point just south of the Ohio River located at the NOVA Chemicals property. This project was originally designed by two different consultants. Bowman was brought in to provide the civil engineering component.

Bowman was hired as a primary engineering consultant, and completed the design, engineering and permitting for 17 miles of pipeline replacement. The majority of the designs were in major metropolitan cities or urban areas, with significant construction conflicts of other underground utilities. Included in the designs were the tie-in details, by-pass details, complete bill of materials, and service connections.

Bowman provided planning, survey, and design services included pipeline and right-of-way design, project coordination with routing, land agents, environmental, archeological, and geotechnical sub-consultants, construction and surveying, and preparation of construction documents including major horizontal drilling designs for numerous interstate highway, road and railroad crossings, creeks and wetlands.

Bowman provided its core planning, survey, and design services to deliver a pipeline expansion project on a very tight deadline. The team had to navigate environmental sensitive areas, state and federal permitting requirements, endangered animals, and changing landowner consents.
