The Financial Post reports in its Thursday edition that the Coastal GasLink pipeline that stretches across Northern British Columbia is mechanically complete ahead of the company's year-end deadline. A Canadian Press dispatch to the Post says that a statement from TC Energy says history has been made by finishing Canada's first pipeline to the West Coast in over 70 years. The company announced in October that the installation of the pipe was finished, while mechanical completion means the end of construction, successful hydrotesting of the full 670-kilometre line and engineering reviews. The statement says Coastal GasLink's workers are in the field getting ready to deliver gas to the LNG Canada processing and export facility in Kitimat, on the B.C. coast. It says that while construction crews have been packing up, reclamation work still needs to be finished and some of the work force will return next spring. TC Energy shares closed Wednesday at $50.41, down 25 cents on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
