Spread 6 Pipeline Construction
Pipeline construction in this region extends from Bridal Veil Falls to Langley. Work consists primarily of conventional pipeline construction techniques, with trenchless techniques being used for select watercourse and road crossings as well as some high-density residential areas.
Michels Canada is the contractor responsible for this work, which includes:
- Approximately 70 km of pipeline construction
- 84 trenchless crossings
- 12 special-project areas requiring modified techniques to accommodate unique land uses or environmental considerations
Michels Canada is a trusted contractor for safe, reliable energy infrastructure construction throughout Canada with experience in new installation and rehabilitation of gas, oil and refined product pipeline projects.
Sumas Terminal Construction
Kiewit Ledcor Trans Mountain Partnership (KLTP) is doing the work at Trans Mountain’s Sumas Terminal, which includes the addition of one new storage tank. The expansion will bring the total number of tanks to seven and a total storage capacity of 890,000 barrels.
KLTP was formed specifically to carry out this work and has a proven track record in finding solutions to minimize impacts of construction activities.
