Pipelines

The ENSR Group has helped oil & gas clients to permit and certify over 27,000 miles of pipeline throughout the world. We customize project teams to meet each client’s objectives—from performing individual tasks at the client’s direction, to the ENSR Group leading the entire permitting and certification effort for mega projects.

The ENSR Group excels at acquiring "buildable" environmental permits for large-diameter, long-distance pipelines. We apply construction expertise at the front end to ensure that regulators and other stakeholders understand what is reasonable and prudent to protect the environment. The ENSR Group also integrates information and data from local field surveys into agency filings, permit applications, and lender submittals for expeditious and on-target project direction.
