Enterprise Pipeline
Pipeline relocation, Right-of-Way Acquisition, Design and As-Built Surveys
SAM, Inc. provided an as-built survey of a ½ mile existing Enterprise Products pipeline in order to establish its existing easement. The existing pipeline was in conflict with a proposed roadway. Using the proposed road design plans, SAM, Inc. located the proposed road right of way and performed a design survey for the relocation of the existing pipeline adjacent to the proposed road right of way. SAM, Inc. produced easement plats and field notes for the proposed route. The proposed pipeline and its easement were staked for construction. An as-built survey was performed for the relocated pipeline.
Location: Hays County, Texas, Proposed White Wing Trail
Client: Enterprise Products Operating, L. P.
