Description

For Enbridge, Falex finished building the civil infrastructure for a natural gas processing facility. The facility can process over 250 million ft3 of raw gas every day, which is equivalent to the natural gas required to power nearly 700,000 homes for an entire year. In addition to ditch and pond excavation, culvert installation, underground utility installation, and tank pad construction, Falex’s scope of work comprised 136,000 m3 of muskeg stripping, 157,000 m3 of rough grading and road construction, and 470,000 m3 of ditch and pond excavation. After the plant project is finished, Falex develops the CCS Project’s viability. 

The Fort Nelson Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Feasibility Project is the outcome of a global partnership involving business, Natural Resources Canada, the US Department of Energy, the province of British Columbia, the University of Victoria, and a multidisciplinary technical team led by Enbridge in collaboration with the Plains CO2 Reduction (PCOR).

The Fort Nelson Natural Gas Processing Plant (FNGP) of Enbridge, located in northeast British Columbia, is expected to emit less CO2 as a result of the $24.1 million project. It is anticipated to capture up to 6.3 million tonnes of CO2 annually and will support British Columbia’s goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 63% by 2020.
