Client
Midstream Transmission Company
Project Overview
The client needed to protect a newly constructed 36‑inch, 66‑mile FBE‑coated pipeline that faced elevated corrosion risks due to its proximity to one abandoned and two active parallel lines along most of the route. These collocated pipelines created complex interference conditions that demanded a reliable, well‑engineered cathodic protection (CP) solution to safeguard long‑term asset integrity. To meet this challenge, LSC engineered and commissioned a complete, site‑specific CP system, providing the client with a tailored protection strategy that reduced corrosion exposure, enhanced pipeline reliability, and ensured safe, consistent system performance across a demanding right‑of‑way environment.
Deliverables:
- Cathodic Protection Installation
- Project Planning & Coordination
- Field Construction Support
- Post-Construction CP Surveys

Strategic Project Planning That Increased Efficiency
LSC strengthened the overall project by expanding support beyond the original scope. The team delivered additional engineering and field services—including slope‑stability planning, interference testing, CP troubleshooting, and refined construction methodologies. These proactive enhancements improved installation efficiency, minimized rework, and produced measurable cost savings for the client.
Clear Communication That Controlled Budget and Schedule
To maintain predictable, on‑schedule progress, LSC provided consistent weekly communication and complete transparency across all project dimensions. This included detailed RFI logs, status updates, risk‑registry tracking, financial forecasting, accrual reporting, and action‑item management. The result was a well‑coordinated execution with no surprises and a final product fully aligned with the client’s expectations from start to finish.
