Meridian Energy Group, Inc., the developer of innovative and environmentally-compliant oil refining facilities, recently announced that the company has executed a contract with SEH Design|Build, Inc. (SEH D|B), a subsidiary of Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. (SEH) with an office in Bismarck, North Dakota, for the performance of site and civil design and construction services for the Davis Refinery.
This announcement comes a month after the North Dakota Department of Health – Air Quality Division issued Meridian the Permit to construct for the Davis Refinery. SEH D|B will take on a significant portion of the project, executing grading and other site work activity that is necessary for the refinery.
SEH D|B will lead civil construction activities by refining site grading plans to establish final grades and contours. Initial construction activities will include the installation of erosion control devices, storm water pond development and ditch shaping to establish vegetation and ensure runoff will be addressed before erosive issues develop – to protect surrounding areas and existing waterways.
The contract with SEH D|B employs a team of local subcontractors from Belfield and surrounding areas. Martin Construction Inc., Dickinson, North Dakota’s premier earthwork construction company, will be the primary site developers for the civil construction.
ABC Fencing, of Belfield, North Dakota will be responsible for installation of erosion control devices and installation of perimeter fencing designed for safety and security around the Davis site.
