How do you minimize your impact during pipeline construction projects?
As we plan and build our pipeline projects, we make every effort to limit our construction footprint. This includes:
- Using pre-existing rights-of-way, such as utility corridors, where possible;
- Using horizontal directional drilling (HDD) technology, which involves drilling an underground arched tunnel, whenever possible to install underground pipelines across large rivers or sensitive crossings;
- Working closely, and continuously, with regulatory agencies, and complying at all times with all environmental requirements;
- Using existing access routes to and from construction sites, minimizing temporary workspace, and limiting ground disturbance.
