CoastalGasLink camp setting up near Vanderhoof

Vanderhoof – What used to be a treed area adjacent to the Vanderhoof Airport is now a full-blow worker camp, or what Coastal GasLink likes to call a”lodge.”

“We have four pipeline contractors on Coastal GasLink,” says Kiel Giddens, with Coastal GasLink. “SA Energy is one of our pipeline contractors who are working in the Nechako region here and will be building about 180 kilometres of the pipeline project.”

From the outside, it looks like your average camp complete with ATCO trailers, but once inside, you feel as though you’re in a hotel, complete with all the services to accommodate workers who will be living there for as long as two years. Currently, the camp has just over 200 residents, but by the end of this summer, will house as many as 900 workers.

Coastal GasLink has a lease agreement with the District of Vanderhoof for the property.
