Downstream

As a downstream oil/gas operator you need designs that are cost-effective, innovative, reliable, and that will pass muster with the regulatory agencies that must approve and permit your facility. Regulatory challenges typically faced by downstream operators include air emission (Clean Air Act) and water quality (Clean Water Act) permitting for refineries and terminals, US Army Corps of Engineers permits for construction of facilities along rivers or coast, and a variety of state and local permits pertaining to land use, road crossings, and basic construction.

We provide a broad range of services to support developers and operators of downstream facilities, including water supply and treatment, oil spill contingency planning and response, air quality monitoring and reporting, corrosion control engineering, and port, harbor, and rail terminal design. We have a strong record for obtaining Corps of Engineers permits (404, etc.), and offices strategically located across the U.S., including in areas of intense downstream activity including Texas and across the Gulf Coast, and the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards. We have designed water treatment facilities and performed air quality monitoring for refineries, and designed and permitted terminals for import/export of LNG and refined liquids. We stand ready to help you address your next downstream-related challenge, whether it be to solve a water problem at a refinery or get a new LNG facility designed and permitted.
