Midstream construction services.

Compressor stations, processing facilities and the equipment between the wellhead and the market.

Specialized midstream experience

Rice Brothers has provided construction services for midstream operations for many years, starting in the Permian Basin and growing well beyond it. We’re a trusted name in midstream because we make sure the job gets done right and on time.

That experience carries straight into Canada. The gas plants, compressor stations and liquids facilities of the Montney, the Alberta Deep Basin and the rest of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin use the same equipment and demand the same discipline on safety, quality and schedule.

From our Calgary office we cover northwest Alberta, northeast BC and anywhere else in Canada a midstream project needs a crew.

Midstream scope we build

Field construction, equipment installation and the steel that holds it together.

Why midstream operators call us

One contractor

Engineering, procurement and construction from one team, so scope gaps between contractors don’t become your problem.

Self-perform crews

Piping, mechanical, structural, and electrical and instrumentation crews of our own, mobilized to the site.

Safety first

Every worker completes our safety requirements before setting foot on your site.

Built for the field

Midstream facilities are often a long way from town, and they operate in every season. Our crews plan for that: winter work, freeze protection, remote logistics and tight tie-in windows on systems that are already flowing gas. We build the schedule around your commissioning date and your operating constraints, not the other way around.

Quality matters as much as speed. Welding procedures, inspection and testing, and complete turnover documentation are part of every midstream job we take on, so your operations team receives a facility that’s ready to start up and easy to maintain.

Many midstream clients start with a single compressor station or skid installation and then bring us back for expansions, debottlenecking and maintenance. That long-term relationship is how Rice Brothers built its midstream reputation in the United States, and it’s how we intend to build it in Canada.

Midstream construction FAQ

Quick answers to what clients ask us most. There’s more on our FAQ page.

What midstream facilities does Rice Brothers Canada build?

Compressor stations, gas and liquid processing facilities, dehydration units, separators, slug catchers, vessels, refrigeration, skid-mounted process equipment, and pipe and pipe modules, along with the platforms, walkways and mezzanines around them.

Do you work in the Montney?

Yes. Gas processing and midstream work across northwest Alberta and northeast BC, including Grande Prairie and Fort St. John, is a natural fit for our Calgary office.

Where does your midstream experience come from?

Rice Brothers has built midstream facilities for many years in the Permian Basin and beyond. Rice Brothers Canada brings that experience and the same methods to Canadian projects.

Can you install skid-mounted and modular equipment?

Yes. We set and tie in skid-mounted process equipment and pipe modules, and Rice Brothers’ fab shop can build custom components when a project needs them.

Do you provide engineering for midstream projects too?

Yes. We offer engineering and design as part of full EPC delivery, or construction only if your design is complete.

How do you handle winter construction on midstream sites?

We plan for it from the start, with winter work windows, freeze protection, heated enclosures where needed and logistics that account for road bans and remote access. Canadian midstream work runs in every season, and our schedules reflect that.
