TULSA, Okla., Aug. 27, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matrix Service Company (Nasdaq:MTRX) announced today that its subsidiary, Matrix Service Inc., has been awarded the engineering, procurement and construction of the six gathering terminals for the Dakota Access Pipeline by Dakota Access, LLC, a subsidiary of Energy Transfer Partners.
