To celebrate International Women in Engineering Day, we got to know some of the extraordinary women engineers that we have on our team

With access to major producing basins in North America, the ANR system transports natural gas from Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana to cities and towns in Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and Ohio.

Experience and training can be the difference between life and death. For members of the Burns Lake Fire Department, a new training facility allows firefighters to train in forcible entry, blackout search, working in confined spaces, self-rescue, live fire training and other basic training skills. TransCanada and its Coastal GasLink project, were among the first organizations to invest in the facility, which allowed the society to solicit for the remaining funds and make this initiative a reality. Investments in first responders is part of TransCanada’s Build Strong program, which invested more than $17 million in more than 1,500 non-profit organizations and community enhancement projects across North America in 2017.

Long before construction began, the Coastal GasLink Pipeline Project made collaboration and community feedback a priority. That feedback has helped improve the overall design of the project, and drove the development of the programs put in place during construction and operation to protect Indigenous culture and values along with the environment, including the Construction Monitoring and Community Liaison Program (CMCL).

Madison Heeg, a sophomore in electrical engineering at the Colorado School of Mines, recently worked as a quality assurance intern in our Houston office. She gained valuable work experience, broadened her knowledge of the industry, and developed strong connections and friendships.

In 2010, OSU-Cascades launched an Energy Systems Engineering four-year degree program, which TC Energy has supported for the last five years. The investment from TC Energy has allowed for experiential learning for senior-year students as they work on their final design projects, collaborating with local energy companies to solve a real-world problem.
