Projects
New Meter Skid & Pipeline Connection
SPEC provided project development, engineering, permitting, drafting, procurement, and construction support for the installation of a new meter skid system and a three-quarter mile pipeline from a 3rd party to the client at a distribution terminal. SPEC’s role included assisting in the definition of the overall project scope, permitting, conversion of swamp land into a temporary island for directional drilling of a new pipeline, design of a new meter skid and prover system, installation of a new control building,
Pipeline Meter Site Drawing Creation
SPEC provided drafting support for the creation of new P&IDs and updating existing mechanical drawings for a Client’s multiple feed pipeline meter site within their Refinery limits. The Client’s existing drawings were outdated with incorrect information causing confusion within the Client’s operational group and engineers on product flow path and the existing systems at site. SPEC used a field visit for drawing redlines, equipment information, and field dimensions to create new P&IDs and updated mechanical drawings for operational usage and clarity.
Terminal Pipeline Manifold Station Upgrade
SPEC provided engineering, drafting, procurement, and construction support for a refined products terminal pipeline manifold station upgrade. SPEC’s scope included evaluating and upgrading the existing terminal pipeline manifold station meters, surge relief system, general station piping, prover, instrumentation, pipe supports, tank supply manifold, etc. to be able to handle the new supply pipeline flowrates.
Services Provided: Project Management and Design, Process Engineering, Civil/Structural Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation and Controls, Mechanical Engineering,
Resin Production Relocation
SPEC provided engineering, procurement, and construction support for the relocation of a specialty oil field resin production process to another plant building. SPEC lead the relocation of the process and updated the design to include five new tanks, new pumps, truck loading rack upgrades, steam tracing, electric heat tracing, insulation, instrumentation, control upgrades and reactor modifications.
Services Provided: Project Management and Design, Process Engineering, Civil/Structural Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation and Controls,
Pipeline Trap Stress Analysis
SPEC provided engineering support for the pipe stress analysis of a Client planned modification to an existing pipeline trap. The project scope included evaluated the Client designed trap modification for adequate supports to prevent over-stress during hydrotest, over-pressure, hurricane, and low and high temperature conditions. SPEC’s analysis allowed for the stress analysis verification of the planned trap upgrade.
