Name and Location
Atlantic Sunrise pipeline project, US.
Client
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company (Transco), a subsidiary of Williams.
Project Description
The project aims to expand Transco’s existing pipeline system from the Marcellus shale production area, in northern Pennsylvania, to deliver an incremental 1.7-million dekatherms a day of year-round firm transportation capacity to its existing south-eastern market areas.
The proposed project includes about 317 km of pipeline comprising:
• 296 km of new 76-cm- and 107-cm-diameter greenfield natural gas;
• a pipeline known as Central Penn Line (CPL) North and CPL South, in Pennsylvania;
• 19 km of new 91- and 107-cm-diameter pipeline looping known as the Chapman and Unity loops, in Pennsylvania;
• 4 km of 76-cm-diameter replacements in Virginia; and
• associated equipment and facilities.
The project’s above-ground facilities will include:
• two new compressor stations in Pennsylvania;
• additional compression and related modifications to three existing compressor stations, in Pennsylvania and Maryland;
• two new meter stations and three new regulator stations in Pennsylvania; and
• minor modifications at existing above-ground facilities at various locations in Pennsylvania, Virginia, North and South Carolina to allow for bidirectional flow, and the installation of supplemental odorisation, odour detection, and/or odour masking/deodorisation equipment.
