May construction update
Coastal GasLink nears 89% completion
As overall project progress nears 89% and we approach the midway point of our final year of construction, Coastal GasLink continues to safely overcome challenges and complete significant milestones that will help supply Canadian-made, lower-emission energy to the world. Check out a few of the things happening along the right-of-way:
- Nearing 100% pipe install completion in two additional sections, bringing our total to 4 of 8 sections complete
- To date, 70% of all water crossings on the Project are now complete
- 97% of all pipe has now been welded
- More than 612 km of pipe across the 670 km route has been installed
Responding to rapidly changing spring conditions
With record breaking high temperatures and higher than average snowpack causing rapid spring melt, Coastal GasLink is adjusting work plans and implementing additional erosion and sediment control (ESC) mitigation measures based on professional recommendations to protect the environment. We currently have over 700 workers dedicated to monitoring conditions and implementing ESC measures as required across the project, including 23 Certified Professionals whose roles are to ensure we are ready to respond and adapt should additional situations require it.

Supporting emergency response in local communities like Fraser Lake.
As part of our commitment to the health and safety of the communities where we operate, Coastal GasLink recently partnered with the Fraser Lake Fire Department and the Northern Development Initiative Trust to purchase a new fire truck for the community. Supporting first responders is a crucial part of our community investment program, Build Strong. We recognize the crucial role fire fighters play in keeping communities safe, and that’s why we’re committed to supporting local initiatives that create expanded capacity for emergency and first responders.
