Pipeline and Utility Operations

With increasing regulation, the operation of a natural gas utility and pipeline has become more difficult. There are times when the costs of specialized tools or training are just too high for certain pipeline operations that need to be performed only periodically. USDI has the tools, equipment or trained personnel you need to help your utility or pipeline get the job done.

USDI can provide services to assist in the operation of your system. USDI currently operates several natural gas utilities, transmission pipelines and master meter systems.

  • Construction services
  •  

    "USDI specializes in smaller, more specialized construction jobs. We work hard to minimize the often extremely expensive mobilization costs most large contractors are forced to charge in order to remain as affordable as possible for the smaller jobs a utility or pipeline may require assistance with.

     
     

    “Providing gas service directly to our company was a big decision. We would save money, but we were concerned about managing the system safely and effectively. USDI has given us peace of mind to take care of our system so we can concentrate on our core business.”
