Morg Bruck (Class of ’69) provided Echoes with a list of alumni involved in a new pipeline for Marathon Ashland Pipe Line Company, which transports refined petroleum product from Kenova, W. Va., to Columbus, Ohio.  Rose-Hulman alumni on the project from Marathon included Bruck, Mike Korkos (’77), Graden Betz (’81), Brent Harris (’81), Matt Strabley (’88), Kintzele (’91), Ian Stallman (’01), and Dan Schwartz (’02).  Also involved were alumni Chuck Petersen (’69) and Tim Kolb (’86), both with Petersen Engineering.

For the technical minded among our readers, here are some of the pipeline stats:  150 miles of 14-inch pipe; welded steel; will move approximately 3,500 barrels an hour; design started in 1998;  and construction started in 2002.
