Gas Plant Infrastructure
Costain Energy & Process has an extensive track record of front end innovation and experience in the gas industry and has become a prominent player in the development of gas storage projects. We draw on this experience to implement solutions to key design criteria such as hydrates, corrosion, compressor selection and technology optimisation. There are numerous authorities which need to be consulted before and during the construction of a new gas storage facility, and we are able to use our experience to offer advice on many statutory regulations. The company's reputation for innovation, teamwork and high levels of managerial skill inherent in these types of projects makes it a unique provider within the sector. |
The Costain 'BE SAFE' campaign drives our approach to SHE throughout project execution. This has led to several prestigious RoSPA awards, including the President's Award for over 15 years of outstanding safety performance. This approach has been recognised and embraced by our customers, and reflected in the collaborative approach adopted on each project.
Costain operates an accredited Environmental Management System. At the design phase of a project, our aim is to minimise the potential production of effluents through a range of techniques. We are experienced in dealing with issues such as sites of special scientific interest (SSSI) and designing plants with minimal impact on their surroundings.
Costain has over 60 years experience of successfully delivering gas handling and treatment plant and facilities worldwide. This capability is underpinned by rigorous project controls including planning, risk assessment and cost management which at all stages of the project are fully transparent to the customer.
For detailed engineering and execution of gas storage projects, Costain has a total capability across the following disciplines:
Costain has a flexible approach to project procurement, with a specific intent to fully align with the customer's own strategy. Our experience on gas storage projects includes procuring equipment 'for and on behalf of' customers as well as placing orders directly. 
From site mobilisation to mechanical completion, Costain has a comprehensive construction management capability. Regular constructability reviews throughout the project lifecycle deliver ease of commissioning and assured plant startup. An integrated team approach, involving the customer from the outset, embeds operability and maintainability into the process and plant design.
