Canada’s Enbridge shuts portion of BC gas system
Canadian infrastructure company Enbridge said November 16 heavy rains in British Columbia’s Lower Mainland had forced it to shut a portion of its T-South natural gas pipeline.
In a system notice, the company said flooding in the area had forced it to shut T-South between Merrit and Hope for precautionary reasons. T-South is one of two pipelines which make up Enbridge’s BC gas pipeline system.

“Field crews are currently en route to the affected area to assess the pipeline right of way and attempt to gain access to closer isolation valves,” the notice said.
Flow on T-South, which delivers into the Huntingdon area and provides for domestic users in the Lower Mainland and exports to the US Pacific Northwest, will be restricted to about 1.58mn GJ/day until further notice.
