Working together in local development
Make sure you know where the pipelines are located. This will limit the risk of multiple crossings, ensure better visibility of visual markers, and reduce the number of easements on individual lots, all in all minimizing the risk of problems

New challenge: Urbanization near the transmission network
When Énergir developed and expanded its transmission network (mainly in the 1980s), high-pressure natural gas lines were located in remote areas, mostly on agricultural or forest land.
New developments are now cropping up near the transmission network, which raises the risk of gas pipeline problems.
In light of this changing landscape and the risks involved, practices must change.
Natural gas transmission network
- More than 800 km of gas transmission network
- More than 60 Quebec municipalities affected
- Two types of pipelines (supply and transmission).
