Equinox Engineering is proud to have executed this $110 MM wet sour gas pipeline EPCM project.

This pipeline design was 92 km of 508 mm two phase gas/condensate sour gas pipeline, with major river crossings; smart pigging facilities; and complete SCADA design and installation. Notable design features includes producer receipt point water analyzers and production gas H2S & CO2 analysis system. The pipeline is regulated by the Canadian National Energy Board.

The project was executed with the engineering cost being under budget and the project finishing 2 months ahead of schedule.

This project consists of the construction of an extension of the Fort St. John Raw Gas Transmission (RGT) System to the South Peace area south of the Peace River and the Spectra McMahon Plant in northern BC. This involved having the pipeline transverse some of the harshest terrain in northern Canada. The pipeline had to cross the Kiskatinaw river twice, one of the largest rivers moving through western Canada. This was achieved via two horizontal directional drills approximately 1 km each . In other areas the pipeline passed through swamp and muskeg where it had to be weighted down using pipe anchors and swamp weights to prevent flotation. In other areas it passed over the foothills where rock terrain was transversed to form an adequate causeway for the pipeline.
