FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The pipeline for Coastal GasLink is 98 per cent in the Peace River region, according to a TC Energy presentation to the Peace River Regional District (PRRD).
The presentation given to the PRRD at their meeting on March 30th revealed that approximately 137 kilometres of pipes had been laid in the Peace River region.
Clean-up, hydro-testing, and reclamation are currently being done in the Groundbirch and Lone Prairie areas, and the final pipe installation in the Merrick Mountain area is taking place.
