Geotechnical and Structural Document Review for LNG Facilities

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is seeking information to identify potential sources to provide Geotechnical and Structural Document Review for LNG Facilities. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to identify potential parties who possess the capabilities and interest in providing expert technical review that verifies compliance with applicable federal and state regulations, guidelines, codes, standards, specifications, and generally accepted good engineering practices in the United States. • The FERC regulates the interstate transmission, storage, and sale of natural gas. • The Office of Energy Projects (OEP) carries out Goal 2 of the Commission’s Strategic Plan by facilitating potential benefits to the nation through the review of natural gas and hydropower infrastructure proposals and minimizing risks to the public associated with FERC jurisdictional energy infrastructure. • The Division of LNG Facility Reviews and Inspections (DLNG) coordinates and manages the engineering design review of applications for liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities under Sections 3 and 7 of the Natural Gas Act. • Companies that propose to construct, operate, and maintain jurisdictional natural gas facilities must secure approval from the FERC in the form of an Order Issuing Certificate or Order Issuing Authorization.
