Name of the Project
PennEast pipeline project.

Location
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, in the US.

Client
PennEast Pipeline Company.

Project Description
The project proposes the construction of a pipeline comprising:
• a 189 km pipeline, 91 cm in diameter and extending from Luzerne County, in Pennsylvania, to Mercer County, in New Jersey;
• the 3.4 km Hellertown Lateral, consisting of a 61-cm-diameter pipeline in Northampton County, Pennsylvania;
• the 0.16 km Gilbert Lateral, consisting of a 30-cm-diameter pipeline in Hunterdon County, New Jersey;
• the 2.1 km Lambertville Lateral, consisting of a 91-cm-diameter pipeline in Hunterdon County, New Jersey; and
• associated equipment and facilities.

The proposed above-ground facilities include:
• the construction of a new compressor station of up to 35 569 kW, in Kidder Township, Carbon County, Pennsylvania;
• eight metering and regulating stations;
• 11 mainline valve sites; and
• four pig launcher/receiver sites (a pig is a tool used to clean and dry a pipeline and/or inspect it for damage or corrosion).

Jobs to be Created
During its construction, the project is expected to support about 12 160 jobs.

Value
The project is estimated at $1-billion.

Duration
PennEast expects to begin pipeline construction in 2018, with construction expected to take seven months to complete.

Latest Developments
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has determined that construction and operation of the project will result in some adverse environmental impacts, but they will be reduced to less-than-significant levels with the implementation of PennEast’s proposed and the FERC’s mitigation measures.

Key Contracts and Suppliers
