EMS has significant experience designing gas distribution systems for major local distribution companies, as well as private, and public (municipal) gas distribution systems. EMS engineers are capable of complete system designs, from design of interconnects and city gates to medium and low pressure delivery pipes. EMS engineers are experienced with the multiple specialties required for cost effective system designs, including:
  • Hydraulic flow modeling


  • Liquid drop out and pipe drips


  • Pipe stress analysis


  • Metering and pressure regulation


  • Corrosion protection


  • Environmental impact studies and assessments


  • Commissioning


  • Operations & maintenance
 
EMS also has considerable experience with cast iron replacement for local distribution companies in urban environments, including replacement with plastic or steel pipe and insertion of plastic linings in existing pipe. These projects require multiple EMS services and skills including project management, survey, permitting, design/drafting, records and documentation control, as-built drafting, construction management, and quality control.
