We have reached a significant milestone for construction on the Eagle Mountain – Woodfibre Gas Pipeline Project. We are pleased to share we’ve completed the installation of approximately three kilometres of the new natural gas pipeline in Coquitlam’s Eagle Mountain area.Beginning July 11, crews will begin hydrotesting this section of the pipeline. This important, routine process ensures the pipeline meets the highest standards of safety, integrity, and regulatory compliance. The work is anticipated to occur over a weeklong period and will generally occur between 7 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Monday to Friday, as well Saturday 9 a.m. – 6 p.m.Once hydrotesting is complete, final reclamation activities will begin and are expected to continue through to the end of 2025. For your safety, please avoid entering any restricted areas during this time. We appreciate the community’s continued patience as we safely work to complete these activities.

To create the workspace needed for our upcoming pipeline installation, our crews are progressing early construction activities further along the new right of way in the Squamish area.Beginning the week of July 7, we will be undertaking tree clearing and access upgrades on private property southeast of Finch Drive. This work is in support of Atlantic Power’s powerline relocation within the private property to create the space required for future pipeline construction.Work will generally occur between 7 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday to Friday, as well as Saturday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.   This work is anticipated to last approximately three months.To maintain safety, in the coming weeks, as work progresses, a temporary trail closure will likely be required for the northern Connector Trail, and we will provide another update in advance.We’ve notified local recreational groups to help bring awareness to this work and inform their trail-use planning. We appreciate your patience as we safely complete these activities.

We are preparing to install a portion of our new natural gas pipeline on private property in Squamish’s Business Park area. We will be using a trenchless method of natural gas pipeline installation underneath the Canadian National (CN) Railway tracks.Starting the week of June 23, nearby residents and businesses may notice increased noise in the area. Here are some important details to be aware of:The work will occur near the intersection of Industrial Way and Queens Way.Work will generally take place between 7 a.m. - 8 p.m. Monday to Friday, as well as Saturday 8 a.m. – 7 p.m.We will be installing steel walls known as sheet piling for approximately 5 weeks.Once these activities are complete, we anticipate installing this segment of new gas pipeline beneath the CN Rail tracks later this year and we will provide a more detailed update as work progresses.Please note, this work is occurring separately from construction of the new gas pipeline along Industrial Way and Finch Drive, which is tentatively planned to begin later in 2025 or early in 2026.We have been in touch with businesses and residents in the area to make sure they are aware of the work, and we will continue to notify them of nearby activities as construction progresses. Thank you for your patience, as we complete this work safely, and as quickly as possible.
