BC Hydro Partial Cable Replacement Project

BC Hydro is undertaking the Partial Cable Replacement Project to replace 1.3 kilometres of an existing underground oil-filled transmission cable with a new oil-free cable.  This section of cable is between Spuraway Avenue/Pinnacle Street and the Como Lake substation at Como Lake Avenue / Lougheed Highway. 

Vegetation clearing work on the BC Hydro utility corridor is slated to be underway in summer 2026 and into early 2027. After this work is complete, the cable replacement work will begin.

Eagle Mountain - Woodfibre Gas Pipeline Project

FortisBC is installing approximately 50 kilometres of new gas pipeline between Squamish and Coquitlam, as well as supporting compressor station infrastructure to supply natural gas to its customer, Woodfibre LNG. 

To minimize environmental footprint, most of this new line will run alongside FortisBC’s existing gas line. 

FortisBC began construction in the Squamish area in August 2023 and in Coquitlam in early 2024, and anticipates project completion in 2027. 

Coquitlam

Construction in Coquitlam will include three kilometres of new gas pipeline northwest of Westwood Plateau and installing two new electric-powered compressor units at FortisBC’s existing Eagle Mountain Compressor Station. To support the new compressor units, FortisBC will build a new substation in Eagle Mountain Park that will connect back to its compressor station through approximately 950 metres of new powerlines.

Metro Vancouver - North Road Sewer Phase 2

The North Road Sewer pipe collects sewage from the Cities of Burnaby and Coquitlam, and carries it to the Annacis Island Wastewater Treatment Plant in the City of Delta. To ensure wastewater continues to be managed safely and to accommodate regional growth, upgrades to the North Road Sewer pipe are necessary.

The new pipe is being constructed in multiple phases over the next several years. Construction for the second phase of the project extending along North Road from Lougheed Highway to Clarke Road, is expected to begin in late 2023 and last up to 18 months. Learn more about the project at North Road Sewer | Metro Vancouver.

Metro Vancouver  - Stoney Creek 

The Stoney Creek sewer is a large pipe that moves wastewater collected from communities in Burnaby, Coquitlam and Port Moody to the Annacis Island Wastewater Treatment Plant in Delta for treatment.

Metro Vancouver is constructing a new sewer pipe in Coquitlam and Burnaby to ensure the continued protection of public health and the environment. When complete, the new pipe (approximately three kilometers long) will improve sewer service in the area by minimizing system backups and spills, supporting regional growth and protecting Stoney Creek. The project will be completed in two sections.

The Coquitlam section of the Stoney Creek Sewer Upgrade extends from Chapman Avenue to Jefferson Avenue in Coquitlam. Construction of this section is expected to start fall 2025. Learn more about the project at the Stoney Creek Sewer Upgrade – Coquitlam Section project webpage.

This section of the Coquitlam Water Main will be 1.4 kilometres long, and extend along Pipeline Road, between Robson Drive and Guildford Way. Construction will take approximately two and a half years.
