 | FacilitiesThe Facilities Business Unit has extensive experience and capabilities in providing a full range of services from conceptual design through engineering, construction and start-up of gathering systems, gas processing plants, compressor stations (Gas and Electrical Driven), pumping stations and terminals. ForeRunner can provide the personnel or the complete project on a turnkey basis. Services provided by the Facilities Business Unit
Our Facilities project experience includes:El Paso 2003 Front Range Expansion (FERC-jurisdictional)
Design is currently underway for two separate compressor station projects which comprise El Paso's 2003 Front Range Expansion: (1) The first involves installation of a new 1,775 HP Ariel JGD-4/Caterpillar G3606 gas compressor package and a 7,800 HP Solar Taurus 60 turbine package, complete with compressor building, control/auxiliary buildings, controls, necessary utilities, and provisions for future reciprocating and turbine compressor additions. (2) The second is a grassroots Drennan Road Air Blending Station located on the eastern side of the Colorado Springs, Colorado. That facility will initially contain two (2) process trains (and provisions for a future third train), each equipped with a motor-driven screw compressor, air dryer, and motor-driven reciprocating compressor to deliver 2 MMscf/d per train of dry air for blending into an nearby gas transmission pipeline for Btu control. Construction bid packages are scheduled to be completed for both facilities in May 2003.
Duke Energy Gas Transmission (FERC-jurisdictional)
Cheshire Compressor Station — 10,320 Hp Solar Taurus 70 turbine with C452 compressor near New Haven, CT to deliver 450 MMscfd to the Islander East pipeline system. ForeRunner completed all engineering and design for pipeline interconnect, station piping, measurement, and compressor and auxiliary buildings. This site has significant and unique environmental restrictions that impact design and construction.
Xcel Energy — Yosemite North Gas Quality Station
Grassroots installation initially consisting of a single Caterpillar G3612/ Dresser Rand 7HOS air compressor and a downstream regenerative desiccant dryer to produce 10 MMscf/d of 600 psig dry air for blending into a 24" natural gas pipeline for Btu control. The facility is identical in service to El Paso's Drennan Road Air Blending Station and is located immediately north of Xcel's existing Yosemite South Gas Quality Station west of Brighton, CO. It is designed to accommodate the addition of a motor-driven boost blower to increase the inlet capacity of the reciprocating air compressor. The station will eventually be expanded into 3 compressor/dryer process trains with a potential air injection capacity of up to 50 MMscf/d, controlling the Btu content of an ultimate 750 MMscf/d natural gas stream. In addition to a compressor building to house the reciprocating compressor(s), it includes gas and air metering facilities, gas metering, blended gas analysis equipment, auxiliary/control facilities, backup power generation, and odorant injection system, all located in separate buildings.
ForeRunner provided project management, engineering, design, drafting, procurement, and field construction supervision for the grass roots construction of three (3) Waukesha 7042 compressor units for BP Amoco's Dry Creek Compressor Station located near Bayfield, Colorado. The project included engineering and design of all support equipment, piping, civil, and structural appetencies. Additionally, the project required the erection of an acoustically insulated compressor building to mitigate sound in the surrounding area. For Enron Midstream Services' project in the Powder River Basin, ForeRunner also managed, engineered, designed, procured, managed construction, and directed startup of 11 Waukesha, 7044 reciprocating compressor units designed to boost low pressure coalbed methane gas from rotary screw compressor units into high pressure gathering transmission pipelines. The project also included all compressor support equipment, and the erection of pre-engineered buildings.
