Project Description

Stress corrosion cracking (SCC)and other crack-like imperfections have been identified on the CTS(Coastal Transmission System) project through integrity digs, which could be a potential hazard for the pipeline system and can result in the failure of the pipeline. Identified pipeline hazards are required to mitigated as per CSA Z662-19 and BC Oil and Gas Activities Act.

FortisBC’s natural gas transmission pipeline integrity work, known as the Transmission Integrity Management Capability Project (TIMC), has a total of 21 pipeline locations and 13 facility sites that are included in the scope of this project.
