Trans-Northern’s pipeline systems in Ontario, Quebec, and Alberta include both operating pipelines, and deactivated pipelines.
The requirements of the operator and of those who live and work near the deactivated pipeline are the same to those of an operating pipeline.
Whether you live and work near an operating or a deactivated pipeline, it’s important to continue to follow all safe digging and safe crossing practices, and contacting Ontario OneCall or Info-Excavation for your free locates well in advance.
Operating pipeline
A pipeline that is actively used to transport products, in this case, the refined petroleum products (gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel, heating fuel) used by Canadian businesses and consumers every day.
Deactivated pipeline
A pipeline that has been safely taken out of service, but remains in place. Operators often choose deactivation of a pipeline as a safe, non-intrusive way to manage non-operating pipelines.
