Overview

The Contractor of Choice

Snelson Companies, Inc. is a premier energy infrastructure contractor delivering safe, reliable, and innovative solutions for complex pipeline and facility construction across North America. We leverage decades of expertise, an unwavering commitment to safety, and the extensive resources of our parent company, Primoris Services Corporation, to provide unparalleled quality from value engineering and early-stage constructability through final project completion. Our mission is to partner with clients to modernize and enhance vital energy delivery systems, ensuring integrity, efficiency, and environmental stewardship for the communities we serve. 

Committed to Safety

Safety is a collective effort built on the principle of being your Brother’s Keeper, where every employee looks out for their colleagues. We leverage the extensive resources of our entire organization and  Primoris, implementing best practices and the latest technology. This commitment ensures the highest standards and most advanced protocols are used to mitigate risk and prevent incidents.

Responsible on and off the job: Our 24/7 safety mindset extends beyond the job site to cover all travel and transit. We use advanced systems like Samsara for real-time data and video coaching to promote safe driving and reduce risk. This technology pairs with our proprietary incentives program to reward employees for superior safety consciousness and accountability on the road.

Putting words into action: Our true safety culture is defined by tangible results, not just policies. Our commitment is proven by a remarkably low Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) of 0.62 over the last three years, significantly outperforming the industry average. Every employee is empowered with the authority to stop work, ensuring safe work is a reality in every decision.

Duke Energy Norwood Station

We were awarded this project by Duke Energy to connect approximately 7,000 LF of 20” pipe to six different Duke systems through five control valve and metering skids. We installed six mainline valve assemblies and built a 100’ x 190’ building around the control valve assemblies. This project also included six open-cut road crossings on a busy street in Cincinnati, OH, which involved coordinated traffic control with the city and support from the local police department. Several of the tie-ins were in the street and required significant shoring provisions to protect workers and the public. There was also a large gas heater with its own 2,000 SF enclosure and a 900 SF climate-controlled storage building. We self-performed all of the mechanical work, excavation, and site support craft. The project had no recordable incidents or major injuries, and the welding crew completed almost 1,200 welds with only one repair.

The scope of work included:
» 5 control and metering skids
» ~7,000 LF of 20” pipe
» 6 open cut road crossing tie-ins
» (1) 100’ x 190’ regulation building with overhead crane
» (1) 40’ x 50’ heater building with gas line heater
» (1) 30’ x 30’ storage building
» 6 main line valves

Duke Energy Line 474

This project included installation of approximately two miles of new 12” transmission pipeline and included five road crossings and utility crossings with eight permanent and five temporary access roads including driveways to the stations. There were 50’ / 30’ permanent easements and 25’ / 30’ temporary easements.

The scope of work included:
» Hot-tap tie in (Spherical Tee) to existing Line 364
» Installation of approximately 2 miles of 12-inch pipe
» Installation of one skidded Launcher 
» Installation of M&R station with skidded Receiver
» Hot-tap tie in (Spherical Tee) to existing natural gas main
» Pipeline cathodic protection

Pipeline Integrity Services in Southern California

We managed the upgrade and modernization of natural gas pipelines in a major metropolitan area in Southern California, including replacing existing and strength-testing new pipes.

The project included the installation of six miles of 16” natural gas transmission line, one main line valve assembly, three regulator stations, and an accompanying fiber optics line. Safety features included upgrading thicker steel, a warning mesh above the pipeline to prevent accidental excavations, automatic shut-off valves, and fiber optic technology to detect ground disturbances that could affect pipeline integrity.
