One of the leading causes of pipeline failure is damage resulting from nearby excavation, other ground disturbance or from crossings by heavy equipment. We watch for unauthorized activities, but we’re also asking for your help.
The Brunswick Pipeline right-of way is clearly marked. Pipeline markers like these are used to indicate the approximate location of a natural gas pipeline and to provide contact information. While pipeline maps and markers provide the general location of a pipeline, they are not an alternative to contacting the Call Before You Dig number.
The Canada Energy Regulator regulations require that you call 1-888-410-2220 for ground disturbances or any heavy equipment crossings within the pipeline easement or within 30 metres of the pipeline easement.
The call centre will notify Emera Brunswick Pipeline so we can mark the underground facilities before your proposed activity takes place. Once these facilities are marked, you’ll know what’s below and can dig or cross safely.
You must Call Before You Dig if planning on undertaking any of the following activities.
Please note this list is not exhaustive. If you are in doubt about possible pipeline locations or permissible activities on or near the Brunswick Pipeline, Call Before You Dig.
If you are in doubt about possible pipeline locations or permissible uses of or near the Easement, call the Operations office at least 72 hours (three full working days) prior to commencing your work. We will identify the location of the pipeline and related facilities, and will provide you with the written permissions you require to proceed. You must call before you dig.
