Engineering, procurement, and construction management for liquids loading, unloading, and terminal projects.
Gas Liquids Engineering (GLE) provides engineering and design services for terminal facilities across the oil and gas and bulk-liquids sectors, including truck, rail, and marine terminals, as well as pipeline-connected facilities supporting custody transfer, storage, and logistics. GLE’s terminal experience also includes chemical terminals and other industrial liquid facilities.
GLE has been involved in the design and execution of large-scale propane and butane export terminals on the west coast of North America, including facilities currently under construction, projects where GLE has supported defined portions of execution, and multiple export terminals in planning and FEED stages in both Canada and the United States. This experience includes export-scale facilities developed through phased execution and designed for long-term growth.
Our terminal facilities are designed to handle a wide range of liquids and gases safely.
Truck racks, loading and unloading systems, metering, vapour control, safety interlocks, and traffic flow layouts to support safe and efficient operations.
Rail loading and unloading racks, car spotting and sequencing layouts, vapour control systems, heating where required, and integration with terminal piping and storage systems.
Precise flow and mass measurement systems meeting facility-applicable custody transfer and single-car loading standards.
Experience with a wide range of volatile and non-volatile liquids including C₃, C₄, C₃₊C₄, C₅₊, NGL, LPG, CO₂, chemicals, methanol, and sulphur.
Atmospheric and pressurized storage tanks, spheres, bullets, secondary containment, fire protection, and associated safety systems.
Pump stations, booster pumps, and transfer systems supporting receipt from and delivery to pipeline networks.
Custody-transfer metering skids, LACT units, sampling systems, prover interfaces, and measurement systems aligned with regulatory and commercial requirements.
Process and transfer pumps, pump stations, surge control, duty/standby configurations, variable-speed drives, and integration with control and safety systems.
Inline and tank-based blending and batching systems supporting operational flexibility and specification control.
Vapour recovery units (VRUs), vapour balancing, and emissions-control systems for tanks and loading operations.
Power distribution, instrument air, nitrogen systems, firewater, chemical injection, heat tracing, buildings, and site infrastructure.
Shore-side terminal facilities, transfer piping, pumping systems, safety and shutdown systems, and integration with dock and berth infrastructure, delivered as part of integrated project teams that may include specialized marine engineering partners.
GLE designs terminal facilities with a strong focus on safe, efficient, and controllable operations, including:
Layouts and systems are developed to support high throughput while minimizing operational risk and downtime.
GLE has extensive experience expanding and upgrading operating terminals while maintaining throughput. Typical projects include:
A selection of our terminal loading, unloading, and facility projects delivered across Western Canada.
