The Trans Mountain expansion is scheduled to start its Nicola river crossing this month. { permits permitting).
*Activities may begin as early as August, pending all necessary permits and approvals.
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) will be used to cross under the Nicola River. This work takes place in a phased approach beginning with the establishment of temporary work spaces on either side of the area being crossed. One site will house a drilling rig and associated equipment, and the other will serve as a staging site for the pipe and will include welding and pipe stringing. After the site is prepared the crossing will be drilled, and then pipe pulled back through. After the drilling phase is complete the site will be cleared and returned to its original use.
