Coastal GasLink Pipeline Nearing 90% Completion as the Halfway Point of it’s Final Year of Construction Approaches

Coastal GasLink’s pipeline is inching closer to the 90 percent completion mark as it nears the halfway point of its final year of construction.

According to CGL’s May update, more than 612 kilometres of pipeline has now been installed across their 670 kilometre route.

Two out of eight sections are fully complete, with at least 94 percent of work now completed on four other sections.

This month also saw crews wrap-up micro-tunneling work at the Morice River Crossing, readying it for pipeline to be fed through this summer.

CGL also teamed up with Northern Development to purchase a new fire truck for the Fraser Lake Fire Department this month.

But, it wasn’t all good news, as the month also saw CGL hit with 11 stop-work orders, mostly related to erosion and sediment control failures.

Those come as they slow construction during a difficult spring melt, with more than 700 workers actively engaged in mitigation efforts.
