The tariff deliverer of Alberta oil for the past 6 and a half decades says it is confident in the safety of its Burnaby storage facility. On May 9th in its newsletter the company reiterated its commitment to safely deliver oil to the shores of the pacific coast.
In more than 65 years of operation, we’ve never had a storage tank fire or structural incident with one of our tanks. Although tank fires and seismic tank incidents world-wide are extremely rare, our prevention and emergency management programs are an integral part of keeping our terminals operating safely.
Since the Burnaby Terminal was originally constructed, and as knowledge about seismic events has improved, upgrades have been completed at our facilities and along our pipeline system, including Burnaby Terminal, to address seismic hazards. These upgrades included the reconstruction of the Burnaby secondary containment berms, upgrade to the Burnaby fire protection system and replacement of piping connections on a number of tanks.
