EPCM Services for Gas Compression & Compressor Stations
Tundra Engineering delivers integrated EPCM services for gas compression and compressor station projects supporting upstream, midstream, and industrial gas handling facilities across the global energy industry. Our team combines deep rotating equipment expertise with disciplined project execution to help operators improve throughput, reduce emissions, and enhance long-term natural gas compression reliability.
As an experienced EPCM engineering firm, we support both greenfield compressor stations and brownfield compression upgrades. From early concept development through detailed engineering, Procurement coordination, Construction Management, and commissioning support, our structured approach aligns gas compression system design with real operating requirements and future expansion needs.
Compressor Station Engineering & System Design
Compressor stations are critical to maintaining pipeline pressure, flow continuity, and production efficiency. Tundra Engineering provides full-cycle engineering for natural gas compression facilities, including compressed natural gas (CNG) infrastructure and high-pressure gas compression systems, ensuring safe, flexible, and code-compliant designs that meet regulatory and operational expectations across the energy industry.
Our engineering teams routinely support:
- Inlet, booster, sales, field, and vapor recovery compression systems
- Reciprocating, screw, and centrifugal compressor selection and packaging
- Electric motor and gas engine driver integration
- Balance-of-plant systems including dehydration, treating, and measurement
- Integration with compressed gas systems and pipeline infrastructure
During front-end and detailed design phases, we evaluate process conditions, suction and discharge requirements, driver selection, and station layout to optimize performance and maintainability. Where applicable, we assess adiabatic gas compression effects, discharge temperatures, and pressure ratios to ensure equipment longevity and safe operation. Our designs consider applicable industry standards, including PHMSA guidance, ASME piping requirements, and emissions considerations where relevant.
EPCM Execution for Compression Projects
Effective compressor station delivery requires tight coordination between rotating equipment, electrical systems, controls, and field Construction. Within our EPCM framework, Tundra Engineering provides structured Management (EPCM) that gives owners cost transparency, schedule visibility, and vendor flexibility.
Our typical EPCM scope includes feasibility assessments, capacity evaluations, equipment specification development, technical bid reviews, and vendor coordination for compressor packages, compressed gas systems, and auxiliary equipment. We also support Construction work package development, field engineering, and commissioning assistance to help ensure installed performance meets design intent.
For projects requiring system optimization, our team frequently integrates findings from debottlenecking EPCM services to identify upstream and downstream constraints that may impact gas compression efficiency.
Reliability, Optimization & Lifecycle Performance
Beyond initial installation, compressor stations must operate reliably over the full asset lifecycle. Tundra Engineering emphasizes reliability, maintainability, and data-driven performance improvement when configuring rotating equipment and control strategies for natural gas compression facilities.
Our team supports restaging evaluations, recylindering opportunities, control system upgrades, and integration with existing facilities through structured Management of Change processes. This lifecycle-focused approach helps operators reduce unplanned downtime, improve energy efficiency, and extend equipment service life across gas compression infrastructure.
