Technical Working Groups
New this reporting period, Trans Mountain initiated Technical Team Working Groups with local
governments along the pipeline corridor. The purpose of these Working Groups is to provide an
ongoing opportunity for Trans Mountain’s engineering, routing and construction planning teams
to work directly with the relevant local government staff to refine engineering, routing and
construction plans and to address issues as they arise.
These Working Groups were initiated in communities throughout the Lower Mainland Fraser
Valley region in late 2014 and will roll-out in the Interior BC and Alberta Regions in Q2/Q3 2015.
The Technical Working Groups will meet on an as-needed basis throughout the construction
planning phase with an option to be continued through construction if needed.
1.13.1
City of Coquitlam, August 11, 2014
On August 11, 2014 Trans Mountain met with the City of Coquitlam who identified the following:
•
Positive response to potential re-alignment further west along Hartley Avenue to
avoid Schooner Street.
•
Interest in construction details such as plating at end of day and speed of
construction progress.
•
Concern about depth of pipe as it relates to future City works on Coquitlam
infrastructure (i.e., storm sewer). United Boulevard is deteriorating. At some
point the City will need to reconstruct the street and some of the side streets
