We have reached a significant milestone for construction on the Eagle Mountain – Woodfibre Gas Pipeline Project. We are pleased to share we have completed development of the temporary construction laydown yard northeast of Valleycliffe, and it’s now operational. The yard will be used to store equipment and materials, as well as for parking and fuelling. The yard was subject to a Temporary Use Permit which was approved by District of Squamish Council in fall 2024 and issued in spring 2025.As previously communicated, the activities at the temporary construction laydown yard reflect a reduction in uses from initial plans. In particular, we are not using an approximately 2.5-acre portion of land on the west side of the approved area, reducing the number of trees cleared.We appreciate your patience as we worked to complete these activities. We will continue to mitigate impacts, including noise and dust, throughout our use of the property.

We have completed the initial phase of work to prepare for the installation of a portion of our new natural gas pipeline on private property in Squamish’s Business Park area. We are now progressing to the installation phase of work. This phase will involve using a trenchless method to install the natural gas pipeline underneath the Canadian National (CN) Railway tracks.Starting the week of August 18, nearby residents and businesses may notice increased activity in the area.The work will occur on private property near the intersection of Industrial Way and Queens Way.Construction 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’ll be using a trenchless installation method, using equipment referred to as an auger boring machine. Installation is expected to take approximately eight weeks.Please note, this work is happening separately from construction of the new gas pipeline along Industrial Way and Finch Drive, which is expected 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. We thank the public for their patience.

On August 7, crews will be returning to the Mamquam River Forest Service Road to apply an additional layer of dust suppressant. This work will start at approximately 6 p.m. and traffic control will be in place to direct single lane alternating traffic as the product dries following application.We appreciate the community’s patience as we work to complete these activities.
