Williams Completes Capacity Replacement Project in Washington
Posted on: Tuesday, 5 December 2006, 15:01 CST
TULSA, Okla., Dec. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Williams' Northwest Pipeline announced today that its capacity replacement project in the state of Washington has been completed and is in service. Completion of the project marks the culmination of work which initially began in 2003.
The capacity replacement project involved abandoning 268 miles of 26-inch pipeline between Sumas and Washougal, Wash., and the construction of approximately 80 miles of 36-inch pipeline in four sections along the same pipeline corridor.
Northwest also modified five existing compressor stations to create an additional 10,760 net horsepower. The capacity replacement project has substantially replaced the approximately 360,000 dekatherms per day of capacity previously provided by the 26-inch pipeline.
"This important project allows us to continue delivering reliable natural gas service to our customers throughout the Pacific Northwest. We're pleased to see it completed on time and on budget," said Phil Wright, president of Williams' gas pipeline business.
"We also understand that construction can be disruptive, and we're grateful for the patience, understanding and support demonstrated by landowners and the communities from Sumas to Washougal."
Crews will be performing final clean up duties in the area with the majority of restoration work targeted for completion by the end of December.
