Coastal GasLink installed approximately 1,400 meters of pipe this summer across what the project calls Cable Crane Hill in Section 8.
Crews in Section 7 of Coastal GasLink inspect a stream this summer. Reclamation activities across parts of the Coastal GasLink project route are underway to bring the land as close to its original state as possible.
Coastal GasLink traverses the Headwall, one of the project’s steepest slopes in the Rocky Mountains. The 670-kilometer project route crosses some of the most challenging terrain in Canada.
Coastal GasLink crews worked alongside year-round run-off channels, in extreme weather and with access limitations at Icy Pass, the route's highest point at 1,428 metres above sea level
Coastal GasLink has safely completed 800 water crossings across the project route, including micro-tunneling at the Morice River.
Coastal GasLink used high-quality steel and state-of-the art welding techniques and applied a corrosion-resistant coating to the pipeline, making safety a priority across design, construction and into operations.
Coastal GasLink utilized a raised bore to install the pipeline, a first for a pipeline project in Canada. This innovative method expedited construction, enhanced safety, and minimized the impact on the slope in this challenging terrain.
The Wilde Lake Compressor Station serves as the starting point for the 670-kilometre natural gas pipeline in eastern British Columbia
The final weld on the Coastal GasLink project, marking 100% pipe installation, completed at the bottom of Cable Crane Hill in October 2023.
