Facility Design and Engineering Services

 Liu Engineering’s facility design services encompass a wide range of critical infrastructure elements that support pipeline operations. Our experience in designing facilities extends from meter and regulator stations to pig launcher/receiver installations, pump and compressor stations, and wellpad piping systems. Each facility is engineered to ensure seamless integration with the overall pipeline system while providing optimal performance and regulatory compliance.

Meter and Regulator Stations
Accurate custody transfer and pressure control are fundamental to pipeline operations. Our meter and regulator station designs incorporate advanced flow measurement technologies, automated control systems, and robust safety features. We ensure that every station meets strict regulatory standards while delivering precise, reliable performance. Detailed engineering drawings, hydraulic analysis, and stress assessments are part of our comprehensive design process, ensuring each station operates safely under varying conditions.

Launcher and Receiver Facilities
To maintain pipeline integrity, regular in-line inspections (pigging) are essential. Our launcher and receiver facilities are designed to accommodate intelligent pigging systems that monitor the condition of the pipeline. These facilities are engineered for easy access and efficient operation, allowing for quick turnaround times during maintenance activities. Our designs include considerations for ease of maintenance, safety, and operational flexibility, ensuring that any disruptions are minimized.

Pump and Compressor Stations
For long-distance transmission, pump and compressor stations play a crucial role in maintaining system pressure and flow. Our facility designs incorporate advanced SCADA systems, energy-efficient equipment, and detailed process piping layouts. We optimize station layouts to reduce energy consumption while maximizing throughput and reliability. Every aspect—from the selection of pumps or compressors to the integration of control systems—is designed with the highest standards of safety and efficiency.

Wellpad Piping and Facilities
In addition to transmission and distribution systems, Liu Engineering has extensive experience in designing wellpad piping and facilities. These designs support the extraction, processing, and initial distribution of oil and gas. We work closely with operators to develop systems that are efficient, safe, and compliant with industry standards. Our wellpad facility designs integrate piping layouts, instrumentation, and safety systems that are critical for managing production operations.

Quality, Safety, and Code Compliance
Every facility design project we undertake is built upon a foundation of quality and safety. We maintain rigorous quality control throughout the design process and work closely with regulatory agencies to ensure full compliance. Our design documentation is thorough and precise, supporting all necessary code reviews and audits. Whether you require a new facility design or upgrades to an existing installation, Liu Engineering’s solutions are tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.

Integrated Project Management
Our facility design services are integrated with overall project management, ensuring seamless coordination from design through construction and commissioning. We provide detailed construction specifications, on-site supervision, and comprehensive quality assurance programs. This integrated approach minimizes risks, controls costs, and ensures that every project is delivered on time and within budget.

Liu Engineering’s commitment to excellence in facility design is evidenced by our proven track record in the Pittsburgh area and across the United States. Our solutions are engineered for performance and durability, and our team is dedicated to delivering facilities that support efficient, safe, and sustainable pipeline operations.
