Active Projects

PROJECT INFORMATION:
Due to the rapid growth in Casper and most notable in the East Zone II area, the city would like to expand its storage and transmission facilities that serve the area. There have been two studies in the past in this area. However, rapid growth has changed the demands since that time. Civil Engineering Professional Inc. were retained to conduct the Level II analysis of the project. The study identified numerous infrastructure improvements that should be made by the City. The City has selected a development plan that includes new pipelines and storage facilities in the Eastern part of the City.
