Winning Projects:

SPECIALTY CONTRACTOR – ELECTRICAL – INDUSTRIAL - $2 TO $10 MILLION

EXCELLENCE: MMR Constructors, Inc. Gray Wolf Compressor Station

MMR performed the electrical and instrumentation portion of construction for the Greenfield Gray Wolf Compressor Station in Douglas, Wyoming. The project involved several challenges, including performing much of the work in sub-zero temperatures, in a remote location, and meeting numerous engineering challenges due to the complex design of the systems. These challenges were overcome with zero-safety related incidents during the more than 17,000 work-hours needed to finish the project.
