Riverside County, CA

Line 2000 D Badlands

Line 2000 is a 30-inch high-pressure natural gas pipeline operating in the Southeast Desert Region. This hydro test consists of 7.76 miles of 30-inch HP pipeline, and two 30-inch MLVs as defined by So Cal Gas. This PSEP project included 12 separate test break locations. L-2000-D Badlands hydrotest project begins at the Beaumont Station and runs west through the Badlands terminating within the Moreno Valley Pressure Limiting Station. As part of this project, ARB Team members were tasked with re-building access roads throughout the Badlands territory as well as building a complex engineered platform and cribbing system to be able to perform all necessary work at test break 21 located on a 102-feet span in the Badlands mountain area. ARBU performed all strength testing & provided all testing documentation for this project.

Divide Station

Divide Station is a regulator station where L-1010 and L 36-1007 meet and is located within the Santa Maria City limits. This complete station re-build project is designed to upgrade Divide Station by replacing four regulators with four new control valves, adding a vessel to address issues with liquids in the pipeline, replacing the Tele-safe with a new SCADA Pak, installing a new five-hundred-foot deep well system with rectifier for cathodic protection, & relocating and upgrading the electric meter from 50 amps to 100 amps. A new downstream block valve was installed for isolation, as is commonplace when working within a station. All excavating was done by hand.
