Read our Warning Letter to Michels Canada after a pipeline was damaged near Pink Mountain, BC: https://ow.ly/Sm1u50Z4oi9

Michels Canada is a construction contractor hired by Westcoast Energy. The contracted crew was installing a 24-inch-diameter pipeline under two active Westcoast pipelines. During this work, the crew struck one of these natural gas pipelines prompting an evacuation of workers in the area. The pipeline has since been repaired and returned to service.

Thankfully, no injuries were reported and no public evacuation was required. This warning letter shares our serious concerns around this incident. We expect companies and their contractors to work safely near pipelines and ensure they are following all our regulations.
