TC Energy is a pipeline owning and operating company based in Canada that has been in business for over 65 years, delivering energy solutions to millions of North Americans. The company's natural gas systems operate over 57,000 miles (93,000 km) of pipeline transporting more than 25% of North America's supply. In addition, it has nearly 3,100 miles (5,000 km) of liquid pipeline system, providing over 2 billion barrels of oil daily, and as part of this liquid system, a major new oil pipeline project was designed to secure even larger reliable energy infrastructure within Canada and the U.S. The project comprised some 329 miles (530 km) in Canada, while the U.S. systems added just over 870 miles (1,400 km) of pipeline to connect with the country's refining hubs in Illinois, Oklahoma and the Gulf Coast of Texas. Pipe for the project was originally procured, manufactured and coated between 2009 and 2011. The pipe was then stockpiled in large quantities at several sites throughout Canada and the U.S. at locations close to the pipeline right-of-way. Once stockpiled, most of the pipe remained unused until an inspection and remediation program was started in August of 2018.
