Engaging with communities

Yes,威尼斯电玩城手游的 Senior Vice-President of External Relations is responsible for external engagement. Alongside our Environment 和 L和 teams,威尼斯电玩城手游的 Indigenous Relations, Government Relations 和 Community Relations teams work to continuously build 和 cultivate positive 和 constructive relationships with stakeholders 和 rightsholders through project advocacy 和 education.

Learn more about our commitment to the environment,威尼斯电玩城手游的 work with l和owners 和威尼斯电玩城手游的 approach to Indigenous relations.

As part of our commitment to being responsible stewards on the l和 we share, 和 in support of the regulatory process, we assess potential effects that may be associated with construction 和 operation of a proposed project. 一些与仪表站有关的可能影响的例子, 压缩站或管道工程包括对土壤的潜在影响, 水, 鱼, 野生动物, air quality 和 noise. Through engagement with community stakeholders, we also learn important local information that feeds into these assessments 和 the final project design.

The Environmental 和 Socio-Economic Assessment prepared for a proposed project considers potential effects on communities 和 groups whose interests may inform our planning process, 包括项目影响不同人群的潜力. We propose mitigation 和 enhancement measures 和 evaluate the significance of residual effects once these measures are implemented. An Environmental Protection Plan is also developed to identify the necessary measures to be used during construction, 和 the best practices we use to guide operations of the assets throughout their life cycle to manage effects 和 maintain equivalent l和 capability.

TC Energy employs a systematic 和 thorough route selection process using a variety of considerations, 如:

• desktop studies
• helicopter surveys
• 实地核查和实地调查
• 工程，岩土和环境领域的研究
• co-location of the pipeline along existing disturbances 和 corridors to minimize new footprints

Route selection takes into account the objectives of minimizing the total route length or l和 requirements, meeting applicable regulatory requirements 和 reducing the environmental footprint, while carefully assessing overall construction complexity 和威尼斯电玩城手游的 ability to meet customer needs. Feedback received through stakeholder, l和owner 和 Indigenous engagement informs the assessment of proposed routes 和 sites.

During construction there is an increase in traffic in 和 around the project area as well as heavy equipment onsite. We adhere to construction plans 和 the Environmental Protection Plan to ensure that the impacts of construction activities on communities are minimized.

威尼斯电玩城手游的许多项目包括使用临时工作空间和, if required, 为支持建设而建造了员工宿舍. If our plans include these features, we begin the conversation with potentially affected stakeholders early on to hear 和 underst和 community interests.

Access to-和-from site is planned based on a number of factors including finding the safest 和 most efficient routes to our work site, existing infrastructure, 需要新的基础设施来支持建筑和市政规划. Access planning is refined throughout project development 和 final plans are communicated to communities prior to starting work.

Once construction is completed, the impacted l和 area – including our temporary work space 和 workforce accommodation areas – is reclaimed to an equivalent l和 capability so that it can support various uses similar to the ability that existed previously. Measures are taken to prevent topsoil/surface material loss from wind 和 水 erosion 和 to establish a vegetative cover native to the surrounding vegetation 和 l和 use. After the facilities are constructed, there will be minimal traffic associated with ongoing operations 和 maintenance.

Our safety program starts before construction. We use only high-quality materials, the latest proven technologies 和 industry-leading practices to ensure the integrity of our pipelines before they go in the ground. We are a leader in North America in the use of automatic welding 和 ultrasonic testing technologies to construct pipelines. These technologies ensure high quality welds are made 和 every weld is inspected by qualified independent inspectors during construction. Prior to placing a pipeline in service, it is hydrostatically tested with 水 at a higher pressure than it will see during operations. In addition, pipeline inspection tools with high resolution sensors are run through the pipeline to check for any other irregularities prior to flowing natural gas.

Once operational, we use state-of-the-art leak detection systems, safety features such as shut-off valves 和 provide highly specialized training for people working on our assets. 威尼斯电玩城手游的管道系统全天24小时监控, 365 days a year by trained operators in our Operations Control Centres who manage the most sophisticated pipeline monitoring equipment 和 technology available. Our industry-leading asset integrity programs manage our pipeline 和 facilities for their entire life cycle to ensure they provide safe 和 reliable energy to consumers throughout North America.

安全 is our number one value – learn more.

Our regional community liaisons live 和 work in the communities where we already operate facilities, continuing to engage with stakeholders while focusing their efforts on public awareness, emergency response 和 community investment.

Our goal is to ensure that our pipeline 和 energy facilities operate 安全 every day 和 that the public,威尼斯电玩城手游的 employees, 和 the environment are protected during the unlikely event of incident involving our assets. All TC Energy safety initiatives are designed to advance one goal: Zero is Real. We are proud to have an industry leading safety record 和 continue to work towards our goal of zero safety incidents. Being prepared for the rare cases when something does go wrong is part of the commitment to ensuring the safety of the communities where we live 和 operate.

在威尼斯电玩城手游的管道系统出现任何潜在问题的第一时间,威尼斯电玩城手游的 control centre operators can stop the flow of product through the pipeline in minutes 和 investigate. If an irregular condition is detected, pipeline operators immediately dispatch emergency personnel to the scene to investigate. The pipeline is not restarted until it has been confirmed on site by qualified personnel that it is safe to do so.

In the unlikely event of an incident, all our assets - including pipelines 和 power generation facilities - have specific Emergency Response Plans that outline the steps we'll take to respond. Our Emergency Preparedness 和 Response team is focused on quickly 和 effectively responding to emergencies 和 mitigating any impacts that may have occurred to public safety, 及时保护财产或环境. If there is an incident, we work closely with authorities, emergency responders 和 the media to ensure local residents are safe 和 aware of the situation.
