We have reached another milestone on the Eagle Mountain – Woodfibre Gas Pipeline Project.Recent construction progress has reinstated vehicle access to some remote areas, and as a result, we are no longer transporting workers by helicopter.We have also started to gradually reduce the number of boats used to transport workers to remote project areas, and reductions will continue through the end of the year.We thank the public for their patience over the past few months while crews were safely transported to work areas.If you have any questions, we encourage you to reach out to the FortisBC team at [email protected] or 1-855-380-5784. You can also sign up for our email newsletter for the latest updates on construction activities.

We are pleased to share that pipeline installation along Finch Drive is now complete. The following activities outline the remaining work in the area.Finch Drive between Highway 99 and Loggers LaneCrews have begun backfilling the excavated area in front of the RCMP detachment between Highway 99 and Loggers Lane.Following the completion of backfill, crews will begin to remove sheet piles. This work is anticipated to commence next week and will continue until mid-October. Crews will then complete the work in the area with culvert replacements.Eastern end of Finch DriveWe have completed sheet pile removal at the east end of Finch Drive and are preparing to begin utility reinstatement work in the area.As early as September 23, to support the utility reinstatement work, hydrovac activities will begin to safely locate and expose existing utilities. Hydrovac activities are expected to continue intermittently throughout the utility reinstatement work, which is anticipated to be complete in mid-October.Single-lane alternating traffic will be in place, and traffic control personnel will be onsite to help road users safely navigate around the work area.Work in both areas along Finch Drive will generally occur between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m., seven days a week. Please note that lower-noise activities associated with pipeline activities, including equipment such as generators and pumps may be required to operate and be maintained overnight.Upcoming temporary road remediation activities along Finch DriveBeginning as early as September 23, crews will carry out temporary road remediation in some areas of Finch Drive, including removal of temporary steel plates, pavement repairs and asphalt patching. Additional temporary road remediation will occur, as required. Final road remediation will be completed at a later date.We appreciate the community’s patience as we safely work to complete these activities.

FortisBC has received an Environmental Assessment Certificate from the Province of British Columbia and approval from the Government of Canada for the Tilbury Phase 2 LNG Expansion Project. This is an important milestone for the project and reflects the completion of a comprehensive environmental assessment process.The project will help ensure current and future Lower Mainland customers continue to have reliable energy through the construction of a new LNG storage tank, while also providing additional liquefaction capacity to support emerging markets for LNG as a lower-carbon fuel.We will continue to work closely with Indigenous Nations, regulators, local governments, community members, and other stakeholders as the project advances through the next stages of planning and permitting. We appreciate the time, effort, and contributions of all those who participated throughout the environmental assessment process.We will continue to provide updates as the project progresses.
