The Philosophy on Fit-For-Purpose Meter Station Design

摘要

Alliance Wood Group Engineeringrn(Alliance) recently completed design for 13 meter/regulator stations related to the measurement of gas asso-c i a t e d with a 42" interstate pipeline project. In considering design criteria for these stations a number of factors were addressed. After an extensive project review of our key team members (led by Bobby Connatser, design manager, and Jason Newton, technical consultant), we agreed on the following design philosophy questions and implementation:rnHow can we accomplish our task in the most expeditious and cost-effective manner?rnIs a cookie-cutter approach practical?rnDo we use modular or conventional stick-build construction philosophy?
