SYNOPSIS
This project involved the construction of (5) expansion phases of an existing Enbridge Energy tank farm and pipeline terminal located in Cushing, OK. A total of (18) tanks, ranging from 233’ to 271’ in diameter, were constructed within the boundary of the existing tank farm, over a 3 year period. This project was undertaken as a design/build effort with a major tank and general construction company. Included in the work was demolition of some existing tanks, tie-ins to existing pipeline manifolds, new pipeline transfer pumps, new motor control center buildings, new pipeline prover; new pipeline sampling equipment; and relocation of a stream through the property. Ridge & Associates, Inc. provided complete engineering design for the site, excluding the tanks and controls.
For this project, Ridge & Associates also designed the office building and all pavement systems necessary to complement the refinery expansion. Design work was completed in 1996-97.
