Stevens Engineers & Constructors

Scope Of Work

The Scio Meter Station Earthwork was completed for Kinder Morgan, utilizing the latest drone technology in conjunction with on-site engineering to move 60,000 cy of dirt in the most efficient way possible. All local, state and federal permits regarding environmental protections were in place and observed, allowing for minimal environmental impacts. Erosion and sediment control was installed and maintained prior to construction, during construction and after construction was complete. Heavy equipment was used — including CAT 740 articulating dumps, CAT excavators, CAT rollers and CAT backhoes. Every precaution was taken to ensure the site was safe for heavy equipment to cross the existing pipelines using engineered air bridges. These bridges were installed prior to earthwork activities in locations which allowed for a continual flow of traffic. This made the excavation and backfill activities most efficient. The knowledge and expertise of the on-site team, as well as the cooperation of the client, allowed for excavation spoils of pad one to be transported to pad two, and immediately placed for backfill. On-site third party inspectors worked hand-in-hand with Kinder Morgan and STEVENS to verify that all project specifications were either met or exceeded.
