Working in your neighbourhood
We regularly maintain our infrastructure to ensure the safe and reliable delivery of energy to our customers. This includes upgrading electricity and natural gas lines – which may require crews to work along roads – as well as managing vegetation near our facilities and rights of way.
We appreciate your patience and co-operation as we try to minimize disruptions and complete the work in your neighbourhood as quickly and safely as possible.
Note: project details and dates are subject to change. Check your local traffic report for updates on roadwork in your area.
Aerial surveys
Updated on: April 10, 2024
Project details: To make sure the gas system continues to operate safely and reliably, we’re performing aerial inspections of our transmission lines.
Our helicopter contractor, Talon Helicopters is permitted by Transport Canada to fly at low levels which allows them to inspect lines that previously had to be inspected by foot. Conducting the inspections by helicopter covers more area in less time, is more cost-effective and safer for our field crews.
The helicopter will pass through communities across B.C., starting in the Lower Mainland and ending in Fort Nelson. Flight time over a single area will be minimal.
This routine work is part of our integrity management system, which includes detection and remediation activities among other steps to ensure public safety. We appreciate your patience as we work to complete the inspections safely and as quickly as possible.
Anticipated dates: April 29 to mid-May 2024
