Strategic Petroleum Reserve 50-mile Pipeline
Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) 50-mile Pipeline Route
Texas City, Texas to Bryan Mound, Texas
TSC began working for Fluor Daniel in 1985, surveying a 50-mile pipeline route for the Department of Energy’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) which would be located in Bryan Mound, Texas (Southeast Texas). The facilities included in this project are the Seaway pipeline, a 46-mile, 40-inch diameter crude oil pipeline, and the Texoma pipeline, a 12.9-mile, 36-inch diameter crude oil pipeline with a custody transfer meter station.

The meter station includes a control building, the first custody transfer metering for the SPR, microwave communications, fire detection and suppression system, taut wire fence, closed circuit television surveillance, and CPI separator. The constructed value of the projects is $76 million. A/E services on this project include design, procurement support, permitting support, surveying, geotechnical work, easement acquisition support, Title III services, and evaluation of construction contractor claims.

TSC provided the surveying portion of these services. The plats and legal descriptions were prepared and delivered to the Corps of Engineers.

Strategic Petroleum Reserve Storage Sites
Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) General Services Contract
Southeast Texas and Louisiana
As TSC’s relationship with Fluor Daniel grew, and as a result of TSC’s work on the 50-mile pipeline project, TSC was given the opportunity to become a subconsultant to Fluor Daniel in 1990 when Fluor received the award of the D.O.E.’s General Engineering Services contract to design, build and maintain the D.O.E.’s SPR facility in southeast Texas and Louisiana.

TSC was on the Fluor team for five years providing personnel to augment Fluor’s SPR staffing initiatives. As a member of the Fluor Team, TSC provided all disciplines of professional engineers (Electrical, Control Systems, Civil, and Mechanical (MEP)) as well as P&ID designers and drafters and the other discipline designers and drafters. TSC also provided land surveyors and clerical personnel for the contract.

Superconducting Super Collider
Superconducting Super Collider Above-Ground Restoration
Waxahachie, Texas
TSC provided civil and electrical engineering services to Lockwood Greene Technologies, Inc. in Oak Ridge, Tennessee —- the Prime Contractor for the restoration of the Superconducting Super Collider sites (nine locations) in Waxahachie, Texas -- in the mid-1990s. The work was performed by TSC Engineering Company and designers.

Located predominantly in Austin Chalk, this project involved the excavation and support of 30,000 ft. of a 16.5 foot-diameter tunnel and 19,000 ft. of 15.3 foot-diameter tunnel using a tunnel boring machine. A total of 14 shafts up to 60 feet in diameter and 210 feet deep were completed in the shape of an ellipse using various support measures. The project also required a short addition to the main tunnel.
