Pipeline operations in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and in Georgia required targeted maintenance, inspection, and emissions-conscious execution. In Tennessee, the objective was to clean and inspect 12‑in. pipelines offline. Georgia presented a broader scope: servicing pipelines of various sizes statewide while minimizing environmental impact during maintenance.
Paxon mobilized its Disaster Recovery team within six days of the fire’s outbreak. Field quality control inspectors and project managers deployed to Butte County to support the utility’s emergency response. Chief inspectors supervised field teams and maintained responsibility for work quality and reporting accuracy.
The team completed offline cleaning and geometric inspection using a caliper tool to assess pipeline integrity on 12‑in. lines.
Services included filtration, blowdown with mufflers to reduce acoustic impact, inline inspection tool loading, online cleaning, and geometric inspections across pipelines of various sizes statewide.
To reduce emissions, the team deployed gas recompression technology to recompress gas in two 14‑in. pipelines, eliminating the need to vent gas to the atmosphere.
Paxon and the operator maintained pipeline integrity and operational efficiency across both regions. In Georgia, the use of gas recompression technology prevented atmospheric venting and supported the operator’s environmental performance goals. The combined efforts demonstrate Paxon’s commitment to safe, efficient, and sustainable pipeline management.
