Atlanta Gas Light & Chattanooga Gas Company

This includes pre-construction and construction phase services on large-scale capital improvements, small-scale roadside pipeline installation, pipeline integrity management, operations and maintenance, site due diligence, and environmental remediation. To date Woodard & Curran has supported Southern Company Gas on over 100 projects, covering more than 500 miles of pipeline in Georgia and Tennessee, along with liquified natural gas (LNG) storage facilities, regulator and gate stations, and other bulk properties.

Our strategy is simple and effective. We focus on good communications, take a proactive approach, and develop coordinated technical solutions that incorporate industry best practices for avoiding, minimizing, and mitigating environmental impacts.

From an innovation standpoint, we are always looking for new ways to incorporate technology to drive efficiency and quality into each assignment. For example, over the past five years we have developed a custom GIS pipeline desktop study model, initiated a fully digital data collection process for pre-construction environmental field studies, and digitized and automated much of our NPDES construction stormwater BMP inspection reporting process.

All of these efforts have reduced time and cost to the client while at the same time reducing the opportunity for error from field to office. Our latest efforts are working on ways predict erosion and sediment control problems using GIS as well as developing digital solutions and communication plans to streamline and improve environmental compliance management on large construction projects with multiple environmental inspectors and large datasets.
