We are advancing construction of our natural gas pipeline along Finch Drive in Squamish.During pipeline installation within the constructed tunnel, crews identified the need to perform maintenance on the tunnelling equipment. To access the equipment, sheet piling work will be required for one day, which is expected to start as early as July 23.Once this maintenance is complete, we expect to resume pipeline installation, with the objective of finishing this work early next week.Following completion of the pipeline installation, crews will begin preparing for the next phase of construction along Finch Drive in the section that is currently closed between Highway 99 and Loggers Lane. This work is anticipated to begin during the week of July 27.This phase of work will also involve sheet piling, which is anticipated to continue until mid-August.To reduce impacts on the community, no sheet piling activities will take place during the long weekend (July 30 – August 3).Pipeline installation and remaining work in the area are expected to continue through October.Work will take place between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Monday to Friday, as well as Saturdays 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Sundays 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.In mid-August, we anticipate beginning the final phase of construction at the eastern end of Finch Drive. Additional details will be provided before this work begins.If you have any questions about this work, we encourage you to reach out to the FortisBC team at [email protected] or 1-855-380-5784.
