A look at recent field projects — from greenfield installation through commissioning, QAQC, and ongoing reliability support across natural gas compression and industrial facilities.
Rogue Technical Services has executed projects across natural gas transmission, compression, and industrial facilities throughout the United States. Each project is staffed with experienced E&I technicians and engineers who know the equipment and the expectations.
Full E&I commissioning of a 4-unit Cat G3516 natural gas compression station — 340 I/O points, instrument loop checks, calibration records, PLC logic verification, ESD function testing, and witnessed start-up on all units. 3-man crew, completed in 6 weeks against a hard pipeline operator in-service deadline. Zero commissioning punch items carried into start-up.
Owner's representative QAQC role for a new pipeline interconnect and metering station. Executed 220 inspection test records against the approved ITP, documented 14 NCRs, and managed full punch list resolution through mechanical completion. Client received a clean, signed-off turnover package with zero deferred items.
Emergency mobilization to an operating facility with 3 units going down on vibration faults — no pattern, no prior RCA. On-site within 48 hours. Identified mis-terminated vibration sensor wiring and out-of-calibration high-high switches introduced during a prior maintenance window. Corrected in 4 days, developed a preventive calibration schedule, and left with documentation the client could take to their next safety review. Estimated downtime savings: $140K.
Commissioned 6 fiscal measurement runs at a remote Eagle Ford location — 180 miles from the nearest city, with the gas purchaser's representative on-site for acceptance testing. Flow computers, pressure transmitters, RTDs, and chromatographs commissioned and verified. All measurement acceptance criteria met on first pass. No rework, no return trip.
Complete E&I installation on a new 2-unit natural gas compression station — 4,800 LF of rigid conduit, 22,000 LF of instrumentation and power cable, 260 field instruments mounted and terminated, panel internal wiring, and Class I Div 2 hazardous area work throughout. 5-man crew over 11 weeks. Handed off to the commissioning team with a clean pre-comm package and zero installation punch items.
Pre-commissioning inspection on a compression facility expansion — 190 instrument tags verified against datasheets and installation specs, as-built documentation reviewed for completeness, and system boundaries confirmed ready for loop checks. Identified 26 installation deviations before the loop check clock started, including 4 hazardous area fitting issues that would have triggered an AHJ comment. Client avoided an estimated 2-week rework delay.
