Natural Gas Distribution
Natural Gas Pipeline
At CJM Construction Consulting we are experts in utility system construction. Are you a utility owner, community developer, or General contractor with a substantial amount of natural gas and or electrical distribution work being performed on your site? Do you need 3rd party Quality Assurance? Do you need assistance in developing and implementing a quality assurance plan?
Our services are beneficial to both Utility and Construction companies. In many cases the Quality Assurance department of even large construction firms is not prepared, or does not have the expertise to monitor the construction of gas and electric distribution systems within their own projects. Having managed large multi-million dollar utility projects, CJM Construction Consulting has the technical skills and the know-how to aid you in managing this aspect of your construction and/or Quality Assurance program.
Please contact us for a no charge consultation to determine how we may help you get your utility system quality assurance program up to industry standards.
