In 1953, construction began on the Gulf Interstate Gas Pipeline. The main pipeline ran from Louisiana to Kentucky to serve the growing U.S. markets for natural gas energy. Overall, the span of the transmission system totaled 1,160 miles—an innovative and historic engineering marvel in America’s post-war industrial age.

70-years later, The Gulf Companies are still making history. Gulf’s innovation for energy transmission is still our primary focus as we expand beyond conventional oil and gas transmission to natural gas liquids (NGLs), liquefied natural gas (LNG), supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) and renewables (solar and wind).

Gulf’s business practices have always sought to deliver responsibly designed and reliably constructed solutions for our customers. Essential criteria, such as stakeholder engagement, social and environmental impacts, safety in design, quality in construction, and operational integrity, have been hallmarks of Gulf’s services throughout our 70-year history.

Our midstream, upstream, electric transmission, and telecommunication clients still rely on The Gulf companies for single-source accountability and predictable return on investment (ROI). Count on Gulf’s superior engineering design, procurement, construction management, survey, land, and pipeline integrity for your most valuable assets.
