Compressor Station – Electrical Modernization
About The Project
A prominent Energy Client relied on BASE to remediate their 50+ year old Gas Dynamic Test Facility. An assessment was performed by the Client, BASE and the Safety Code Officer identifying multiple electric code compliance issues, equipment obsolescence and modernization opportunities. BASE proposed and is executing a 5 year program to remediate issues at the site. Addressing electrical compliance of the facility is in the Construction Phase and replacing the entire facility’s Hydronic heating system is in the Engineering Phase. The program is on-time, on budget and delivering scope with Zero safety incidents.
