Engineering firms to study feasibility of Ontario pipeline and energy corridor
AI Article Summary
Infrastructure Ontario has selected a group of consulting firms, including GHD and Ernst & Young, to conduct a feasibility study for an east-west pipeline and energy corridor across Ontario. The study will assess the technical, social, and economic aspects of the project, focusing on carrying Western Canadian oil and gas. The project will also explore Indigenous participation and potential infrastructure developments. The study is expected to be completed next year with inclusion of a cost analysis.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project shows the large-scale energy infrastructure opportunities available in Canada, potentially easing regulatory ventures for such pipelines. For Canadian builders, this means planning for possible increases in demand for skilled labor and materials, emphasizing the importance of Indigenous engagement and strategic local partnerships. Collaboration could streamline timelines and align with national energy security goals.
