Keystone Pipeline Pump Stations

TIC, a subsidiary of Kiewit, constructed 18 pump stations and associated work for the Keystone Pipeline program.  Keystone’s original pipeline system included a total of 39 pump stations delivering up to 590,000 bpd of oil from Canada’s Alberta oil fields and the Bakken formation to refineries across the U.S. Midwest.

For phase 1, TIC completed the grass roots construction of nine pump stations including 5000 hp motors and centrifugal pumps throughout North Dakota and South Dakota.

For phase 2, TIC installed additional mainline pumps at 16 existing pump stations from North Dakota through Kansas. TIC also performed grassroots construction of two pump stations consisting of 6,500 hp motors and centrifugal pumps in Kansas and Oklahoma, and associated civil, concrete, electrical & instrumentation, and insulation work.
