Compression Replacement Project

Located in Illinois

  • Company NPL Construction
  • Capability
    • Natural Gas Infrastructure
  • Completion 2024

Project Overview

In 2024, we completed the construction and operation of two natural gas compressor stations at a Midwest-based gas storage facility. The facility utilizes compression to inject natural gas into the underground aquifer storage reservoir, helping meet base load demand for the largest natural gas distributor. Due to the age and operating hours of the compression equipment at the facility, existing compressor units were replaced with new compressor units to improve the station’s reliability and availability.

Key Highlights

Work prior to construction of these two stations included electric powered compressors and turbine compressors in the Ancona storage facility. Construction took approximately one year as one of the stations had less piping and a smaller electrical scope compared to the other. Our team served as the general contractor, managing the entire project, including extensive civil, electrical installations, pricing, and management.

Project Scope of Work Included:

  • Two (2) New Natural Gas Compressor Units
  • Two (2) New Aftercooler Units, Filters, and Boiler System
  • Other Mechanical Equipment
  • Concrete Foundations and Boiler & MERC Buildings
  • Associated Utility Piping
  • Associated Electrical Infrastructure
  • Dirt Work, Concrete, Foundations, Paving, Grading, Drainage

Challenges and Results

We assigned a full-time inspector to ensure all contractors followed protocols for PPE, fall protection, confined spaces, crane work, etc.; began each day with Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs).

Strick environmental requirements, including filtering sewer water back into the field, managing spoil piles, controlling sediment, and ensuring compliance with permits. Basic erosion control measures, such as filter bags and silt fences, were used to protect environmentally sensitive areas.

Every project stage underwent thorough inspections, including coating checks, weld X-rays, hydrostatic tests, and valve inspections detail was scrutinized to guarantee both safety and a reliable final product without incident.

We were awarded the mechanical work for a single turbine compressor for 2026.
