The field program measured directional waves and subsea currents at six individual moorings deployed at three strategic locations along the pipeline route in the Strait of Georgia near Powell River, BC, and Texada Island.
These measurements utilized ASL’s new PBM-15 polyethylene deepwater buoys to collect data in water depths of up to 400 m. The datasets collected from this program will be used in numerical modeling studies to support pipeline spanning and integrity assessment at various locations, to be conducted by Worley and RPS, a Tetra Tech Company.
The Vancouver Island Transmission System is a critical energy infrastructure that transports natural gas from the British Columbia mainland to Vancouver Island. This pipeline system ensures a reliable natural gas supply to the Island’s residents and industries, supporting residential heating and electricity generation. ASL is pleased to
support preliminary front-end engineering design (PRE-FEED), construction, and operations and maintenance assessments of new and existing marine energy infrastructure.
