Body
This project will take place at the gas border stations where gas is delivered from New Mexico Gas Company (NMGC) to Los Alamos and White Rock. There are two border stations in Los Alamos and one in White Rock. At each of the three locations new metering, overpressure protection and supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA) will be installed. Currently the only metering and over pressure protection at these locations is on NMGC facilities. Addition of the metering will provide a check of the quantities/billing from NMGC and provide 24hr/7day usage data. The new pressure relief valves will ensure protection of the gas systems by relieving pressure in the event that a 5 PSI overpressure is sensed. The new SCADA system will monitor real-time and archive the flow, pressure and temperature readings in 5-minute increments. The date will be hosted on a cloud server where it is available to DPU operations and engineering staff. The availability of the data and monitoring capabilities will provide alarms if there are irregularities in the supply or distribution system and provide valuable data for planning and operating the system. One bid was received for the project from DUB-L-EE. DUB-L-EE has performed quality work for DPU for over a decade and has qualified staff to perform this spe...
