Coastal GasLink, the company behind the 670-kilometre natural gas pipeline from the Dawson Creek area to port in Kitimat, says it is ready to put its first pipe in the ground next month.
It’s latest construction update confirms its first in-field pipe weld happened in Kitimat earlier this month, while pipe assembly starts along several parts of the proposed line in July.
A compressor station at Wilde Lake and a metering station in Kitimat are also slated for construction this summer as the project’s workforce is expected to grow to more than 25-hundred by September.
When complete, Coastal GasLink says its pipeline will deliver at least 2.1-billion cubic feet of natural gas every day to the LNG Canada liquefied natural gas facility currently under construction in Kitimat.
