Case Studies
NORTHERN ALBERTA
Fort Saskatchewan/Redwater Pipeline
Pipeline construction in the Fort Saskatchewan area is not a simple endeavor, given the extensive buried assets there. Our experience-rich team was able to find solutions to the inevitable problems, and this challenging project was safely constructed.
TCB played an integral role in the safe completion of 12 km of 12” and 3 km of 24” pipeline in the Fort Saskatchewan/Redwater area. TCB participated in not only the line locating but also helped coordinate all ground disturbance activities, from ROW sweeps to AB One-Call management, auditing of all crossing agreements, daily ground disturbance permitting and onsite field representation.
Lac la Biche / Fort McMurray Pipeline
Our group recently assisted in the construction of 22 km of pipelines in the Cheecham area north of Lac Labiche and South of Fort McMurray. This type of country has its own unique challenges such as the terrain and remoteness.
TCB Line Locating supplies its workers with top notch equipment such as cabbed UTV’s to keep our employees warm and safe from the extreme weather in Northern Alberta.
CENTRAL ALBERTA
Stettler Area/Forestburg NPS
TCB Line Locating was integral to the safe installation of an 8km NPS 10 Forestburg loop line in the summer of 2019, marshalled out of Stettler. Construction was south of Forestburg and north of Halkirk, and tied into the electricity substation on the Battle River. The terrain in the Battle River Valley was physically challenging. Our crews found multiple buried-and-forgotten transmission cables and the job was completed without incident.
Consort, Coronation and Veteran
TCB helped play a part in numerous well tie-ins and the safe construction of multiple pipelines in the Consort, Veteran and Coronation area. We are especially proud of this project as multiple unknown pipelines were found, saving line strikes and helping our client better understand their buried assets in the older infrastructure that they had purchased. It was a challenging project but our highly trained crews performed exceptionally, and proved that experienced locators can really make a difference.
