BGE – Camden Yards / M&T Bank Stadium Maryland Stadium Authority

Project Overview
PipeWay was contracted by Baltimore Gas Electric to install 650 linear feet of 24” steel gas main running through the parking lots of M&T Bank Stadium and Camden Yards. This project needed to be completed between the Ravens and Orioles seasons. Adding to the mix, the Baltimore Ravens found themselves as division playoff contenders.

The schedule had to be scrutinized by the PipeWay team with a solid plan presented to Maryland Stadium Authority and BGE. After multiple consultations among stakeholders, a condensed schedule was developed prior to the NTP.

As the Baltimore Ravens were playing at home, we commenced with the preliminary preparation of staging, saw cutting, and utility confirmation of the proposed gas main. Upon receiving the notice to proceed, PipeWay set into action as planned. While handling some unique challenges along the way, PipeWay succeeded, completing the work before the Orioles season opener.

Unique Challenges
  • An unknown severely pitted cast iron water main feeding several office complexes in the area that had been leaking for some time. In coordination with the Baltimore City Department of Public Works, the water main was replaced and relocated within 24 hours by our forces.
  • As with any construction project, an unknown duct bank was encountered. A straightforward adjustment to the proposed gas main route let us continue with no major impact on the project.

Cole Field House & Public Policy Building Site

Project Overview
Two separate projects were performed over a span of three years on campus while classes were in session. Completed wet and dry utility work for the new Cole Field House and for the new Public Policy Building.
Unique Challenges
  • For the Cole Field House project, worked directly with WSSC to facilitate all inspections to achieve acceptance per WSSC guidelines. Revised plans were submitted to WSSC on two occasions to alter the design. The project ended up taking three years to complete, due to frequent breaks for scheduled campus activities and other on-site trade work.
  • The Public Policy Building site was a high-profile project and was directly adjacent to the Armory, where University of Maryland executives work. Having minimum impact on the campus day-to-day was paramount.

Georgetown University

Project

Georgetown University

Worked within stringent schedule and helipad operations while relocating steam and condensate facilities spanning to GU Hospital.

More Details

Georgetown University East/West Project

Project Overview
The Georgetown East/West project required relocation of steam and condensate facilities to allow for the installation of a new roadway through the University Campus and construction of a new state-of-the-art Medical/Surgical Pavilion with helipad and a three-level underground parking garage at the MedStar Georgetown University Hospital.

Georgetown East/West campus had a steam loop and distribution system. We isolated a section of the system north of the college and south of Georgetown Hospital.

PipeWay effectively coordinated with all Stakeholders to manage the stringent schedule, campus restrictions and protection of existing critical underground infrastructure. The project was completed with several crews working long hours and without utility strikes.

Unique Challenges
  • This three-phase project encompassed areas spanning from the west side of the campus to the center of campus adjacent to the new facility. Each phase of construction necessitated specialized maintenance of traffic plans to limit impeding traffic flow, including vehicle traffic, pedestrian traffic to the campus, hotel and conference center, and the hospital.
  • Helipad traffic was relocated to allow for steam manhole work on the existing pad. Stop work orders and processes were developed to effectively manage planned and unplanned arrival/departure of helicopters near worksite.

Fort Meade Water Infrastructure

Project

Fort Meade Water Infrastructure

Installed 3100 feet of 8″ water pipe and nine services at secure location.

More Details

Domestic Water Piping Replacement, Building 9800A

Project Overview
Our firm was contracted to install nine 8” water services as an upgrade of the building’s existing domestic water infrastructure at the secure location.

Our crew’s day-to-day efforts to maintain momentum did not go unnoticed. When the complex was on alert with world and national concerns, our forces secured work locations efficiently without hindrance to key DoD entrances while maintaining safe, clean, quality work. Agency project management frequently cited our crew’s performance on how contractors should oversee their worksite and our perpetual consideration of agency personnel.

Unique Challenges
  • Working within the restricted complex required coordination with multiple other contractors.
  • Authentication of existing utilities was not a simple matter. The usual photographic documentation was prohibited due to security protocol. This hurdle was overcome by our very competent foreman and his exceptional drawing capabilities. Communication between American Water and NSA personnel was successful based on his detailed sketches and ability to convey potential solutions proactively.
  • Working in secure location efficiently while maintaining safe, clean, quality work and without hindering agency personnel.
  • Additional challenges related to the 70-year-old age of the property.
