STEVENS completed comprehensive foundation and concrete work for an MPLX natural gas processing facility. The project included construction of two major building foundations—a 20,000 square foot compressor building and a 4,000 square foot PDC building—each featuring caissons, building piers, grade walls, and floor slabs. A 3,200 square foot tank farm was constructed to support five 400-barrel tanks with complete containment walls. Additional work included the glycol regeneration skid with containment walls, pipe supports, and sump areas, plus electrical substation foundations for transformers, circuit breakers, and support structures.
