Oil, Gas & Chemicals

Developing Safe & Reliable Oil and Gas Infrastructure

HDR was founded on improving rural communities’ quality of life by building infrastructure to electrify the Midwest. Drawing on our legacy, we support the development of infrastructure that transports and stores natural gas, oil, natural gas liquids and chemicals throughout North America. We have the experts, resources and technology to navigate your oil, gas and chemicals projects from beginning to end, helping upgrade and build safe and reliable pipelines, facilities and terminals, and the power generation infrastructure to support them.

Our team’s expertise spans the project cycle — from conceptual development, site planning, pipeline routing and detailed engineering design to as-built drawings and project closeout. Along the way, we add spatial, digital, drone and mobile technology to enhance data acquisition and management and increase project efficiency so you can do more with less. We also have specialists in trenchless technology, environmental permitting, fire and life safety, AC interference, geotechnical engineering, land rights and right-of-way, and more, who have made us trusted advisors in the oil, gas and chemicals industry.
