ODIN EPC

Sustainability is one of the most crucial issues faced by major utilities today. However, to achieve this goal of supporting safe and sustainable energy delivery, it is necessary to have both new technology and leading industry expertise.

ODIN EPC, a household name in the natural gas and energy industry, is making a significant difference in this regard. With a full-time staff of civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering experts, the firm offers turnkey solutions for energy infrastructure projects. Their capabilities enable ODIN EPC to support a safe, optimized, and sustainable energy delivery future, focusing on the engineering and construction of new and improved utility facilities, integration of new technologies and delivery mechanisms, and modernization and data visualization within these facilities. The company also provides modernization of SCADA (System Control and Data Acquisition) systems to help clients more effectively monitor and manage their distribution system and new green energy projects.

“With the world shifting towards renewable energy and a greener planet earth, we are working closely with clients to lead within the renewable energy space,” states Chris Barros P.E., President and CEO at ODIN EPC. “To help clients go greener, we are also empowering client’s natural gas facilities with hydrogen, renewables and solar installations,” he adds.

ODIN EPC is also well-positioned to support utilities with long-term infrastructure plans that include various sustainability initiatives and incorporate multiple energy sources and mediums not commercially available today. ODIN EPC is helping such utilities by providing efficient and cost-effective equipment purchasing services and retooling their resources and skills to meet the needs of new renewable infrastructure along with supporting their existing technology projects.

ODIN EPC takes pride in being quick and responsive while providing solutions for projects from concept to completion or studies to start-up. With a mindset to “measure twice, cut once,” team ODIN EPC is methodical in its approach and aligns with clients to provide services for their projects. It deploys a responsive, collaborative, and systematic approach to developing a detailed design package for clients that incorporates construction, operations, and maintenance. Moreover, the firm stays flexible and executes contracts for design, build, EPC with risk, or any combination that clients may need.

Having worked on nearly all aspects of upgrading and modernizing natural gas and LNG processing, ODIN EPC is an expert at designing and constructing various types of facilities. The company is skilled in its sub-disciplines, such as completing green field installations, surveying and soil sampling, creating engineering plans, site preparation, building foundations, providing structural support, laying out electrical and control designs, producing mechanical system drawings, and leveraging their subject matter experts. The firm has also produced and implemented a best-in-class standard of operation for natural gas and cryogenic facilities, differentiating its contribution from the available control system offerings in the industry.

ODIN EPC’s ability to promote the modernization of the natural gas energy delivery system has helped them garner a broad clientele. They have worked in multiple regional natural gas facilities from concept to completion, which includes building the renowned Towanda PA cryogenic LNG plant. ODIN EPC also excels in conceptualizing new locations and can create site renderings, budgets, layouts, schedules, and designs using 4D methods, to optimize construction and reduce costs and timelines.

“We also generate 3D models and scans of existing facilities to document as-built records or for utilization with new, upgraded, or expansion design projects,” says Barros.

Affirming their prowess in the field, ODIN EPC was recently chosen by National Grid to support their hydrogen injection project. This initiative includes blending hydrogen into a natural gas distribution system and is the first of its kind in the U.S. The client sought to inject renewable hydrogen into the existing natural gas piping infrastructure to improve the carbon footprint of natural gas, which is used to heat homes. ODIN EPC was able to provide the client with a cost-effective solution to support their carbon reduction goals while using their existing natural gas infrastructure.

In essence, leveraging its longstanding experience and sheer focus on building a sustainable energy future, ODIN EPC is all set to revolutionize the natural gas and energy space. The firm is at the forefront of vendors that are well-equipped to support clients’ energy projects that uplift environmental sustainability.
