The award recognizes the engineering work associated with the Rockaway project, which was successfully placed into service in 2015. The 3-mile, 26-inch offshore pipeline provides natural gas from the existing Transco pipeline in New York Bay to the Rockaways. The project marked the first new delivery point for interstate natural gas infrastructure into New York City in more than 40 years.
'This Rockaway Delivery Lateral Project is a great example of how prudent engineering design combined with an innovative approach to environmental mitigation can ultimately deliver exceptional results,' said Evan Kirchen, Williams vice president of Project Execution.
The project was unique in its permitting complexity, requiring Congressional approval to grant the National Park Service authority for the adaptive reuse of the hangers.
