US High Pressure Elevated Steam Line

Project Overview

This project involved the complex installation of an 1,100-foot above-ground high-pressure steam and condensate line, integrated into the campus’s central utility system, which serves the entire pharmaceutical site. The line runs from the Central Utility Building, passing alongside high-voltage electrical lines, wetlands, and storm water basins, and crosses a road via a newly erected pipe bridge. The project required meticulous planning, including the development of a project-specific quality assurance and control plan, excavation coordination near natural gas transmission lines, and the installation of five temporary steam boilers to support ongoing operations. Additional tasks included installing a high-voltage line cover, constructing a walkway canopy without disrupting pedestrian traffic, and protecting wetlands. The scope also included erosion control, vacuum excavation, storm water basin restoration, utility relocation, and tree planting and seeding to address environmental conservation efforts.
