Trans Mountain Fibre Gaps Project
This is a non-designated project on federal lands or outside Canada. The listed authorities are responsible for the project assessment.
This project will be assessed with a basic impact assessment.
Trans Mountain plans to install a fibre optic cable alongside the existing 36-inch oil pipeline through Jasper National Park to improve Trans Mountain's ability to monitor for leaks and integrity risks to the pipeline. This monitoring method was a component of Trans Mountain's leak detection plans submitted to the Canada Energy Regulator for the Trans Mountain Expansion project. The cable will be installed underground, primarily within the existing pipeline right-of-way, although deviations at river, rail or road crossings or unsafe terrain may be required. In addition to leak detection technology, the fibre optic cable will have excess capacity for a third party telecommunications provider to utilize to enhance telecommunications services in Alberta and BC, in particular rural and underserved communities. Infrastructure to support the telecommunications network will be the subject of a separate submission by the third party telecommunications provider.
