For more than 165 years, Peoples Gas has provided natural gas service to the City of Chicago. Currently delivering services to 828,000 customers in the City, Peoples Gas is dedicated to upgrading its infrastructure of approximately 568 miles of pipeline.
Milhouse was retained by Peoples Gas to provide engineering design services for the relocation of the utility’s aging infrastructure.
Milhouse was selected to provide engineering services to Peoples Gas in Chicago’s West Beverly and West Morgan Park neighborhoods. The two projects total approximately 62,000 linear feet (LF) of medium pressure main replacement, and include the installation of 2-inch to 18-inch plastic main. The projects are spilt into 10 different construction phases for submission to the Chicago Office of Underground Coordination.
Design plans developed by Milhouse included:
• Installation sheets with profiles
• Retirement, restoration, and maintenance of traffic (MOT) sheets
• Design for an 18-inch jack-and-bore railroad crossing
• Deep shore excavation
• Pipe insertion
• Directional bore and open cut utility crossings
