Pipeline expansion work in Kamloops expected to begin in fall
“I think they’re anxious to see us get started and anxious to get back to work,” Anderson said.
At the moment, Trans Mountain is waiting on the National Energy Board (NEB) to reaffirm the approvals it gave the company for satisfying pre-construction conditions during the first round of approvals, before the federal Court ordered a review of marine protection measures and more consultations with First Nations along the pipeline route.
“The NEB has a process to undertake. Over the coming weeks and once that’s completed, we’ll be ready to hit the ground again,” Anderson said, noting the estimated start date hinges on this NEB process not hitting any snags.
