Project Highlights

Southwest Gas Replacement Program

Various Locations, AZ
Bowman provides on-call planning and survey services to this statewide utility expansion program. The team delivers right-of-way analysis, topographic surveys, construction stake outs and as built surveys. Includes steel transmission and distribution main replacement, HDD design, neighborhood grid and service replacement, and new development. Also provides pressure test construction, tie-in and corrosion protection details, regulator station design, cost estimates and client/city coordination.

Confidential Gas Mapping

Various Locations, OH
This large-scale mapping project encompasses data collection and mapping of nearly 5,000 miles of gas lines during a three-year contract period. This is a natural gas mapping project and Bowman technicians are collecting data for underground gas service and main lines, as well as above-ground gas features.

Gas Main Installations and Bridge Support

Chicago, IL
Bowman provides design engineering services to Peoples Gas, Light and Coke Company (PGL) for PGL's Accelerated Main Replacement Program (AMRP). These engineering services are for gas main installation and replacement projects the design of permanent bridge supports of existing gas mains at proposed utility crossings, and maintenance of traffic plans for neighborhood projects.

Gas Gathering Collection System Survey

Various Locations, TX, LA
Bowman was engaged to provide open ditch as-built surveys for 315 miles of natural gas gathering systems. Bowman not only provided an accurate representation of the existing infrastructure but also served as a valuable resource for future maintenance, expansion and regulatory compliance.

Pipeline Integrity Support

Various Locations, TX, LA
Bowman was contracted to provide integrity support services for 41 miles of pipeline across East Texas and Northwest Louisiana. To ensure the reliability and safety of the energy infrastructure, our team conducted depth of cover surveys to assess the position of pipelines beneath the surface.

Explorer Pipeline Gilcrease Expressway

OK
Explorer Pipeline was directed by the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority to relocate a portion of their 28” pipeline in the western portion of Tulsa County in Oklahoma due to the proposed construction of a new tollway.

Bluestone to Sunoco Pipeline

Beaver & Butler Counties, PA
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.

Ballie Trust Pipeline

Butler County, PA
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.

Mariner West Pipeline

Various Locations, PA
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.
