El Paso Energy
Palmer Engineering serves as the engineering and surveying alliance consultant for El Paso Energy's Central Division, which includes the East Tennessee Natural Gas and Midwestern Gas systems. Recently, Palmer has been involved in several of El Paso's capital expansion, rehabilitation and maintenance projects in Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia. These projects include surveys and construction engineering on a 2-mile loop in Shelbyville, Tennessee; a 1.5-mile loop in Estill Springs, Tennessee; hydrostatic pressure tests at six different sites in Kentucky and Tennessee; and preliminary surveys on 13 miles of East Tennessee Natural Gas's 3300 line in Glade Springs, Virginia. Palmer is currently providing construction engineering services on a 6000' safety change-out in the Portland operating area in Joelton, Tennessee.


Georgetown to Frankfort, Kentucky Line
Columbia Gas of Kentucky
Palmer provided layout and survey services for approximately 13 miles of this 12" gas transmission line. Work included all phases of gas line layout for construction, including the processing of roadway crossing permits, individual property plat generation for more than 70 property owners, and the creation of Public Service Commission drawings for filing. Palmer's surveying services on this project included a preliminary and topographic survey, and archaeological stakeout for centerline and right-of-way, a construction survey, and an as-built survey. The primary challenge of this project was routing the line through a developing corridor that is rich in history without greatly impacting construction costs.

This project consisted of GPS survey and mapping for approximately six miles of 24" gas line, associated access roads, pipe yards, staging areas, wetland areas and archaeological sites for KA line replacement project in Pike County, Kentucky; also provided deed research services. Additional survey and mapping for two miles of 30" gas line (KA line) relocation necessitated by coal operations in Pike County, Kentucky.
