Background

About Gary Virden

Project Engineer with a focus on the construction of Oil and Gas Facilities. Strong skills involving the sizing and selection process for Natural Gas Compressor Installations for multiple units field gathering stations and single compressor installations. Most recently worked as a Contract Field Engineer involved in the Greenfield Construction project for installation of four Solar Gas Turbine / Compressor units and all related piping and equipment for a mainline Natural Gas Compressor Station for TransCanada in Northern WV. Worked on field based assignments as a Project Engineer with Price-Gregory International involving the construction of Oil and Gas Industry Facilities. Worked as an on-site Project Engineer with Willbros involving a brownfield project in which an existing mainline natural gas compressor station was modified in order to drive centrifugal compressors with VFD controlled HP electric motors instead of the originally installed engine driven package. This same project also modified existing underground 36 inch piping with modified piping configurations, new valves and controls in order to provide the station with reverse flow capability for a major interstate natural gas pipeline company.
