Did You Know?<br />
The proposed Mackenzie Gas Project would become one of the most complex undertakings in<br />
the NWT to date:<br />
• to assist with community consultation, the project has staff in three regional offices.<br />
• during the peak construction season, up to 7000 people will work on pipeline construction<br />
• the pipeline system will be built in sections "or spreads" ranging in length from 120 to 160<br />
kilometres<br />
• more than 40 self-sufficient camps will be needed to house the thousands of construction<br />
workers and support personnel<br />
• the project will make use of four to five million cubic metres of natural construction<br />
material such as gravel and sand<br />
• about 19 barge landing sites will be required to land materials transported by barge down<br />
the Mackenzie River – eight of these sites already exist<br />
• initially, four compressor stations could be built but as new natural gas discoveries are<br />
developed, more compressor stations may be added<br />
• compressor stations will be monitored 24/7 from a central operations control center<br />
• total length of the gathering system, natural gas liquids pipeline and natural gas pipeline is<br />
about 1900 kilometres<br />
• the natural gas pipeline will take gas from a processing facility near Inuvik to an<br />
interconnect facility in northwestern Alberta – a distance of about 1,200 kilometres.<br />
• 1200 kilometres is about the same distance as driving the round trip from Edmonton to<br />
Calgary and back twice.<br />
