PIPELINE SYSTEM EXPANSION
Multi-Pipeline Construction
LOCATION: Montney, BC
MARKET: Pipelines & Gathering Systems
THE CHALLENGE:
British Columbia has stringent pipeline regulations and the geography presents harsh weather and steep/diverse terrain. Due to the project’s construction size, nearly 60 vendors were required over the 10+ month schedule. With various constructability issues, especially pertaining to hydrotesting, de-watering and purging operations, the Client required a team with experience and the right tools to complete the project.
THE SOLUTION
- CANUSA EPC provided a single point of contact for all 59 vendors
- Designed and coordinated to safely cross large rivers while meeting all environmental regulations
- Septimus NPS 8 sales gas and gathering pipeline loop (combined 9,800+ meters; river crossings)
- Monias NPS 12 sales gas, NPS 6 natural gas and NPS 6 liquid pipeline constructions (combined 55,600+ meters)
- Saturn NPS 16 sales gas pipeline construction (combined 23,900+ meters; river crossings)
- Design of the pipeline pigging facilities for 900 ANSI system under CSA specifications
- Daily, weekly and monthly project reporting including budget, schedule, safety and quality
- Sweet natural gas and condensate pipelines were constructed as spare bi-directional lines for future production
THE RESULTS
- Improved capacity and flexibility of the gathering and sales pipeline system
- NPS 16 sales gas pipeline connected the NPS 12 pipeline from existing gas plant
- Transported sweet natural gas from the field to the existing gas plant – allowing for incremental gas production
- Provided flexibility for Client logistics with bi-directional designs
