Mechanical Engineering Lead - Jeff Holloway P. Eng.
- Approximately twenty two years of experience in project management, project engineering,
compression application, discipline co-ordination, field engineering, commissioning and
start-up of gas transmission and gas processing and gathering facilities. This experience
includes system hydraulics, application of compression to gas plants and pipelines,
feasibility studies, dense phase pipelines, compressor station design, meter station
design, gas plant design, electric driver options, magnetic bearings, dry seals, gas
turbines and all other aspects of gas processing and gas pipeline design and construction.
- Notable works include:
Preliminary design and feasibility studies on the Alliance Pipeline in Canada and the USA.
This pipeline is a dense phase pipeline designed to transport high liquid content gas at
1740 psi through a 36" pipeline across North America.
Design verification, construction quality control and start-up of the USSR/Turkey Natural
Gas Pipeline system. This system included over 700 km of 36 and 24 inch pipeline, 11 large
meter stations and one 30 MW compressor station. Experience also in hydraulic analysis of
pipeline systems, gas handling equipment selection and the design of mechanical piping
systems including piping stress analysis.
A specialist in all sequences involved in project management, design and field services,
he has worked on pipeline and facility projects in Canada, USA, Colombia, Finland, Turkey
and Australia.
