While our pipeline remains shut down as a precautionary response to the BC flooding event, our Trans Mountain and Expansion Project teams work around the clock to safely restart the pipeline.
In addition to the restart efforts, our teams on the ground are assisting with transportation, fuel, food and water supplies, supplying necessary equipment, and substantial road-clearing and bridge-building efforts to connect communities that are/were completely cut off due to the flooding and landslides.

Trans Mountain and the Expansion Project contractors responsible for this area - Kiewit, Bonatti, and Macro, assisted the District of Hope, Indigenous communities and local organizations by helicoptering in and delivering supplies such as food, water, and blankets. Last week, all Highways leading into Hope were blocked by landslides and flooding, which stranded travellers in the community – more than 600 individuals stayed in temporary shelters organized by the District of Hope. Ten volunteers were provided to help at these temporary shelters.
