Compressor stations provide energy needed to move natural gas through pipelines to reach our homes and provide everyday comforts, such as heating, cooling and cooking.

TC Energy’s corporate values of safety, innovation, responsibility, collaboration and integrity, form the foundation of how we do business.

Ensuring the integrity of our pipeline assets is one of our main objectives when we talk about our safety as a core value. It becomes a challenge when we must make it real in our 92,600 km (57,500 miles) network of natural gas pipelines. These plastic slabs are just as efficient as concrete to avoid third-party mechanical, but with additional benefits. Its high visibility colour allows our patrolling team to easily spot any exposed section in the pipeline and quickly reveals the existence of a high-pressure pipeline to any third party performing unauthorized activities over the pipeline.

When we think about safety and health, the first thing that comes to mind is our physical well-being, but our mental health is equally as important. Just like our bodies need exercise and a good diet to remain strong, our minds need stimulation and rest to stay healthy and alert. This is true under any circumstances but right now, as the world faces a global pandemic and we’re exposed to heightened levels of uncertainty, it is more important than ever that we pay attention to our mental health and be aware of how it can impact other areas of our life.

Over the past few months, we’ve transitioned into a reality which includes living with COVID-19. Now we are learning how to carefully manage this risk and move forward – slowly reopening and recovering the economy while balancing safety and health precautions.
