Morrison Ramps Up Pipeline Lowering Offerings

Pipeline lowering has become an increasingly necessary activity for companies across the US. Lowering is required to secure the integrity of pipeline systems in the face of extreme weather events and to clear right-of-way for deepening of shipping channels. 

Pipeline lowering projects require specialized equipment, experienced crews and detailed planning to safely protect existing infrastructure while minimizing environmental impact. Morrison delivers dependable pipeline lowering support for marine, inland and coastal projects with a strong focus on safety, efficiency and operational reliability.

Morrison brings its over 40 years of experience to pipeline projects across the US in every environmental condition from coastal and inland to river and shallow water. Morrison has amassed a team of subject matter experts that safely plan, build and deliver quality construction services for oil & gas infrastructure while adhering to industry safety standards established by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). 

Crews have successfully completed projects in pipeline installation construction, maintenance and integrity, and decommissioning, backed by a world class, reliable fleet of barges.

Barges

Morrison’s CM-12 Jet Barge is a 120’ x 30’ all purpose jetting barge that effectively services most inland areas due to its 4’ shallow draft. This vessel can jet to 25’ below the waterline. The Jet Claw can be mounted in the centerline moon-pool or outboard of the barge.
