A large pipeline project like the Trans Mountain Expansion Project is typically broken into manageable lengths called “spreads”. Our Project is divided into nine spreads of pipeline construction, each with unique activities and challenges, and each awarded to contractors with the experience and expertise to deliver on construction. In addition to the spreads of pipeline construction, we are expanding our existing Trans Mountain terminals and adding 12 pump stations. As with pipeline spread construction, we've selected contractors with the specific experience and expertise for the work at our facilities.
As part of the expansion, we also have two sections of pipeline being reactivated in Jasper – Mount Robson and West Barriere.
