When it comes to natural gas transmission and distribution pipelines, FortisBC has an excellent safety record.
Our very thorough on-going maintenance program and long-term planning efforts, allow us to anticipate and prepare for increased customer demand, new technologies, and pipeline upgrades.
When planning our maintenance and upgrade projects, we are careful to ensure that disruptions to local communities are kept to a minimum.
