NV5 Global,   a provider of compliance, technology, engineering, and environmental consulting solutions, announced today that it has been awarded a $39 million contract to upgrade the liquefaction facilities at a major Midwest utility’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility. NV5 will provide engineering, procurement, construction management, and commissioning services for the replacement of the facility’s aging liquefier. The upgrade includes a new pretreatment system, liquefier, electrical gear, refrigerant storage, and control system. The new liquefaction system will improve reliability, provide the ability to control ethane concentrations in the LNG, and deliver additional operational flexibility. The project is already underway and is expected to be completed in spring 2024.

“We are pleased to have been selected for this project which will assist our utility client in delivering safe and reliable gas service to its customers,” said Dickerson Wright, PE, Chairman and CEO of NV5. “The reliability of liquefaction facilities is essential due to regulatory requirements and customer demands, and utility investments in upgrades to aging LNG equipment continue to be a driver of our LNG business.”

“Modernization of aging LNG equipment improves service reliability and reduces ongoing maintenance costs, and we are proud to contribute to the safe and dependable delivery of natural gas service,” said Peter Dirksen, PE, President of NV5 LNG Services.
