Gulf South Pipeline- Airport and Whistler Compressor stations
Location: Mobile, Alabama
Owner: Boardwalk Pipeline Partners a subsidiary of El Paso Corporation
Contract Amount and Type: $9,900,000.00
Contract Instrument: Not To Exceed with a Fast Track schedule
Original design drawings were found to be too expensive and outside of the expenditure cap that was applied by FERC (Federal Energy Regulation Commission). As such the original scope was drastically cut, however time did not allow for the drawings to be revised. Gulf South Pipeline issued extensively “redlined” drawing for construction. Though out the project extreme diligence had to be used to make sure that all the required elements of equipment, foundation and piping were installed. This project was set as fast track working 7 days a week in order to complete the project and satisfy the FERC requirements. Due to the delays in awarding the contracts and the issues with the FERC applied expenditure cap, the original nine month schedule was com-pressed to a six month schedule. The two projects although intended to be done as separated projects were combined due to the negotiations and willingness to facilitate the owners requirements. As the Project Man-ager for this project I had to coordinate the forces of multiple specialty sub-contractors including pipeline weld-ers, industrial pipefitters and welders, electrical and instrumentation, millwrights, site contractors and founda-tion contractors.
