Demonstrating TransCanada’s near perfect pipeline safety record.

Having FERC certificates in hand for Leach XPress and Rayne XPress means the projects can realistically meet their November 1, 2017 in-service dates.

TransCanada’s recent donation of a flow computer helped make the miniature pipeline terminal built inside Central Tech’s pipeline and safety training center even more true to how pipelines function in the real world.

TransCanada Corporation (TSX:TRP) (NYSE:TRP) (TransCanada) announced today that it will proceed with construction of the Coastal GasLink pipeline project (Coastal GasLink) after a decision to sanction the LNG Canada natural gas liquefaction facility in Kitimat, British Columbia (B.C.) was announced earlier today by the joint venture participants of LNG Canada, a consortium comprised of Shell, PETRONAS, PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corporation and KOGAS (the LNG Canada Participants).

The Leach XPress Pipeline is unique because of the terrain and the sheer amount of work that up to 3,000 employees and contractors will carry out to complete this project for a planned in-service date in November.

Sixty years ago, TransCanada recruited a "highly-trained crew of experts from around the world" to operate Station 41 and ensure its reliability. Today, that crew is made up of local, expertly trained technicians, who share the same values and dedication to the safe and reliable operation of TransCanada's namesake pipeline.
