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.
