CLEVELAND (August 31, 2017) — Crestwood Services will host a grand opening event at its propane rail terminal in Montgomery, New York, on September 6. The new facility, designed and built by Superior Energy Systems, will serve thousands of end users in the northeast. Superior played a key role in the project, leading all efforts in the design, engineering, permitting, construction, startup and commissioning of the terminal.
The facility, one of the largest in the country, occupies 20 acres and is equipped to store over 280,000 gallons of propane. It will serve propane marketers and their customers in New York, New England and additional parts of the northeast. The propane product is pulled from multiple shale producers in the Marcellus and Utica Shales. The Middleton and New Jersey railroads, which can operate seven days per week, will service the terminal. Crestwood Services’ new video provides an overview of the facility.
“We are excited to see this terminal in operation,” said Derek Rimko, vice president of operations at Superior. “From the initial design and layout to the commissioning of the facility, we pride ourselves on quality and excellence at every step and that is the reason our customers, like Crestwood, keep coming back to us.”
Superior provided all equipment necessary for the build of the terminal that contains 16 rail offloading stations on a continuous platform, operating two switches per day, which will ensure a capacity of approximately 100 trucks per day or a volume of 1 million gallons. The four-spot truck rack with turbine pumps will load four trucks in 17 minutes, reducing wait times during peak winter months.
In addition to equipment, Superior provided turnkey project management and construction oversight, serving as the general contractor for the entire terminal build. “This is the fourth terminal we have constructed with Superior and we couldn’t be happier with their efforts,” said Andy Ronald, vice president of supply and logistics development at Crestwood Services. “Their hyper focus on engineering quality and design, as well as exceptional customer service, sets them apart. When it comes to terminal construction, they have the ability to do it all, seamlessly.”
Crestwood’s grand opening event at the terminal will include lunch and private tours, on Wednesday, September 6 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For information on the event, please contact Crystelle Markley at crystelle@superiornrg.com.
