Pine River Crossing Mainline Removal Chetwynd, BC

Decommissioning

Client: Enbridge 

Project Value: $6,300,000 

Project Schedule: June – November 2024 

The 24” Grizzly Mainline has gone through multiple revetments due to erosion from annual seasonal water runoff and low depth of cover. 

The project scope of work included:

  • Removing 380m of 24 NPS pipe from under the Pine River using a hydro hammer.  
  • Access over the Pine River required a temporary engineered 3 pier bridge be installed & improvements made to the existing access.
  • Excavated tie-in locations required a large amount of water pumping and shoring.
  • A specialized pneumatic and hydro hammer system was used to hammer pipe sections out of the river.
