Franklin Avenue Regulator Project

Located in Mount Vernon, NY

  • Capability
    • Natural Gas Infrastructure
  • Completion 2018

Project Overview

In 2018, in Mount Vernon, NY, our host utility upgraded their low-pressure gas systems to accommodate high pressure and installed new regulator stations throughout their service territory. Under a multiyear contract, we assisted the host utility with their network overhaul by fabricating and installing regulator stations and large-diameter, high-pressure steel gas mains throughout the Westchester County service area.

Key Highlights

We performed hydrostatic testing of the steel mains, and all steel pipe was cathodically protected, requiring crews to jeep and tape all steel mains and coat main valves in tar.

Project Scope of Work Included:

  • A Two-Stage Regulator System
  • 170 Feet of 20-inch Steel Pipe and 50 Feet of 16-inch Steel Pipe
  • Two Manholes
  • Regulators and Manifolds
  • Vent Posts
  • Monitoring Lines
  • Main Valves

Challenges and Results

The depth of the gas mains and manholes required extensive sheeting, including the installation of road plates for an extended period while work progressed. Crews encountered a high quantity of rock during this installation, which slowed progress during the installation of all new facilities.

Due to the complexity of this project, all work was completed by qualified personnel, particularly welders. Whether pipe and fittings were prefabricated off-site or in the field, our work was subject to rigorous testing before going online, requiring crews to work long shifts and weekends. In addition, our welding crew was supported by a team of excavation professionals, and all facilities were installed in compliance with the client specifications. Our management team worked closely with host utility and the local authorities to coordinate operations and minimize the project’s impact on the community, including vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

As a result, we were able to bring the regulator online before the start of the cold-weather heating season in November, and our work resulted in added stability and a guaranteed gas supply to the host utility’s Westchester service territory.
