PIPELINE ENGINEERING SERVICES

The EDM Services team has extensive onshore and offshore pipeline experience. Many other design firms can provide technically acceptable designs in this specialized field; but few have the expertise to provide both the lowest overall project cost and a high quality project. Our firm can secure permits, enhance constructability, optimize operations, and minimize maintenance requirements. EDM’s principals have designed, permitted, constructed, operated and maintained these facilities. This results in significant initial construction cost savings, and additional operating and maintenance savings throughout the project life. Specifically, EDM can provide the following services for your cross country or urban pipeline project:

  • Routing and feasibility studies:

  • Preliminary engineering and permitting;

  • Final designs including hydraulic analyses, stress analysis, finite element modeling,
