Gray & Pape, Inc., has
a strong reputation with its pipeline industry clients for the successful
implementation and completion of archaeological and architectural
investigations in support of permitting requirements. Since the firm's
inception, Gray & Pape has completed over 270 CRM projects in 15 states
for natural gas transmission, distribution systems and storage facilities.
Gray & Pape personnel have a solid understanding of pipeline engineering
and permitting, and routinely apply that understanding in successful
coordination with state and federal agencies.
Gray & Pape's extensive natural gas pipeline project experience ranges
in scope from single meter and regulating stations to multi-state,
transmission line corridors covering hundreds of miles. Through this
depth of experience, Gray & Pape has developed thorough and consistent
methods for creating and maintaining project schedules, coordinating
efficient field investigations and reports, and creating constructive
liaisons within large project teams.
The firm is fully capable of simultaneously conducting multiple, large-scale
projects. Between July 1997 and March 1998, for example, the firm
completed work on 3 major pipeline projects involving 400 miles of
corridor survey in addition to over 50 access roads and storage/pipeyard
locations. The results of these Phase I surveys were reported during
the same period.

The reports were accepted
without modification by the four state historic preservation offices
involved and the federal reviewing agency.
By correlating the client's permitting procedures, engineering objectives,
and construction methods, Gray & Pape offers its pipeline clients
full-service and pragmatic cultural resources management. Gray & Pape
personnel are trained to spot possible conflicts between routing and
cultural properties, to define alternate routing, or to mitigate the
effects of proposed construction on significant cultural resources.
Gray & Pape routinely uses the client's mapping to convey
cultural resource information to both Environmental Permit Managers
and review agencies. Gray & Pape can provide GPS data and GIS layers
specific to cultural resources to their industry clients. Furthermore,
Gray & Pape has experience incorporating CRM information into Environmental
Management and Construction Plan documents so that recommendations
agreed to with oversight agencies can be implemented practically in
the field and controlled by project inspectors.
Our qualifications demonstrate that Gray & Pape has the management
and logistical capabilities to provide the highest quality professional
services while maintaining the client's objectives and scheduling.
