The Distribution engineers at ENE are regarded as experts throughout the industry. They have particular experience in the design of natural gas distribution systems---one client (Nicor Gas) owns and operates a 30,000-mile natural gas system that meets or exceeds all regulations. ENE’s Distribution Group designed this system. They design the new mains to be installed (at a pace of about 2,000,000 feet per year), they design improvements, replacements and upgrades to the system (at an average of 71 miles per year), and they research and utilize the latest technologies and methodologies in both cons
truction and operating procedures.
The Distribution Group focuses on providing full turnkey services to natural gas local distribution companies (LDC’s) nationwide. From storage fields and tap stations all the way to the customer’s meter set, ENE will design your system to meet or exceed all specifications. Considering the benefits of outsourcing? Call ENE.
