Infrastructure expansion Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania is actively expanding and upgrading aging gas pipelines, including projects in Hanover and Penn Township. This signals ongoing capital expenditure and contractor opportunities for construction, engineering, and project management services, as well as equipment and safety compliance solutions.
