Drainage and trenching

Farming is at the heart of our communities. Sharing our value of safety in every step helps everyone get home safely—including you, your families and the community.

Most normal agricultural activities are permitted on the pipeline right-of-way (ROW). Agricultural activities no deeper than 45 cm (18 inches) can be completed without written consent from TC Energy.  Farm vehicles and equipment can cross the pipeline ROW without written consent from TC Energy if they are being used to perform an agricultural activity and their loaded axle weight and tire pressure are within the manufacturer’s approved limits and operating guidelines.

However, some activities still require written consent to ensure the safety of everyone involved, either due to the depth of the activity, or the weight of the equipment involved.
