The restart of the Trans Mountain pipeline is “only a few days away,” according to the company working to get the critical piece of infrastructure back up and running ever since a precautionary shutdown on Nov. 14 due to flooding and extreme weather in British Columbia.
Provided there are no additional setbacks from the latest round of rainstorms, the company said it should be able to restart the pipeline at reduced capacity within a few days. Parkland spokesman Simon Scott said in an email Wednesday that the refinery’s processing operations remain paused, but other aspects of its operations like shipping and blending are up and running.
