"Pipeline Project of the Year"

Cheyenne Plains Gas Pipeline Co., a subsidiary of El Paso Corporation, recently completed a project to carry natural gas from the Rocky Mountain area to the mid-continent markets. The overall project involved the detail design and construction of an amine gas treating facility, compressor stations and 380 miles of 36-inch diameter pipeline. Harris Group was responsible for the detail design of the compression and amine treating plant. The scope included a station addition at the Cheyenne Station with a new Caterpillar 3608/Arial JGCD-4 compressor/engine package. The new Cheyenne Plains Compressor Station included two Solar Taurus 70 gas turbine/compressor packages, inlet metering and flow control from three different pipeline sources, control/auxiliary building, and associated utilities. Harris Group was recently awarded the Detail Design for Phase 2 of the project. According to a recent announcement from El Paso, the project was six years in the making and was completed on schedule and below budget and has been awarded the Houston Pipeliner's "Pipeline Project of the Year."
