Wood secured the $34m contract through a competitive tender process. The company’s work will also include the construction of the North Kingsville Meter Station in Ashtabula County, Ohio.
Originating in the Meadville, Pennsylvania area, the Risberg pipeline will connect to approximately 32 miles of existing pipeline and extends in a north-west direction. It will end at the North Kingsville Meter Station.
Currently underway, the project is expected to be completed this year.
Wood Group Americas business Asset Solutions CEO Andrew Stewart said: “We’re delighted to be playing a key role in this strategic project, helping to support the supply of domestic energy to Northeast Ohio communities and industries who have had limited access to natural gas sources.
