Project

BGE: Gas Control Backup Center

The backup gas control room’s curved operator console and video wall.

A case study in resilience and a backup control room built to mirror the primary

As BGE’s owner’s representative, REMS led the renovation of the utility’s Gas Control Backup Center, creating a modern, fully functional control room that mirrors the primary. We managed demolition of the existing backup center and the adjoining rooms absorbed into the new layout, then oversaw a new training and simulator room with potential for use across operating companies, a new AV video wall, upgraded IT infrastructure, and ergonomic technical furniture. The project also added a kitchen, restroom, new flooring, and lighting. Built to ISO 11064 control room design standards and federal pipeline control room requirements (49 CFR 192.631), the project was completed with no reportable safety incidents.
