The 1,172-mile DAPL underground pipeline extends from the Bakken/Three Forks production area in North Dakota to Patoka, IL. The pipeline will transport domestically-produced, light, sweet crude oil from North Dakota to major refining markets in a more direct, cost-effective, safer and more environmentally responsible manner than other modes of transportation, including rail or truck, YESCO said.
YESCO provided comprehensive project management solutions including photometric reviews, submittals and advanced logistics planning as well as lighting solutions and switchgear from manufacturers including RAB Lighting and Eaton Corp. for the Stanley, Ramberg, Epping, Trenton, Watford, Johnson terminals at the DAPL project.
The project was stopped last year after protests by the Standing Rock Sioux and supporters. The Trump Administration has given the go-ahead since taking power in January.
