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.

After heavy flooding exposed pipelines at river crossings, TransCanada used innovative and creative bioengineering solutions to "re-train" the rivers to protect the pipelines, reduce the company's environmental footprint, and create a new habitat for fish. To date, TransCanada’s engineering solutions have met with success, with the provincial regulator approving the engineering practices as a permanent solution.

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.
