Delivery & Storage
Electric T&D
GZA’s exemplary safety record working on over 1,000 miles of electric transmission and distribution (T&D) lines, and over 500 electric substations prove the value of people-based safety. Our geotechnical, ecological, and civil engineering services have assisted gas and electric utility companies and their engineers and contractors evaluate risk; expedite development; design; construct; maintain; and upgrade their assets to meet continually increasing levels of reliability, resilience, and sustainability.
Pipeline
Moving natural gas to resource-constrained areas requires significant skill in linear construction and sensitive waterbody and transportation infrastructure crossings. Our engineers and scientists have assisted clients by evaluating, designing, and installing over 100 high pressure natural gas transmission pipeline crossing installations and compressor stations.
LNG
We have supported several extensive Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) modernization and upgrades needed to improve the reliance and reliability of fuel supplies, particularly in geographically resource-constrained regions. Our clients have learned to rely on GZA’s breadth of experience remediating former MGP sites and designing waterfront infrastructure to complete these projects safely and efficiently.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
Whether stand alone or integrated into a renewable generating facility, like solar or wind, GZA has extensive experience assisting clients in cost-effective solutions to site, permit, design, and construct BESS facilities throughout the Northeast.
