As one of more than 95,000 landowners we work with across North America, Hugo Bonjean was aware of the possible dangers of digging near pipelines, and so he called TransCanada and Alberta One Call, his local underground utility organization.

TC Energy added multiple natural gas pipelines and compressor unit additions as part of the 2021 NGTL System Expansion Project in Alberta.

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.

Environmental work is an ongoing and important part of TransCanada’s construction activities.

The NGTL System has been quietly powering the continent for decades and will continue to do so as we continue its legacy.

"We do in-line inspections periodically and it gives us an overall health of the pipeline,” John Sadler, Manager of In-line Inspection Canada at TC Energy.
