Three workers were injured in an incident at a worksite near Fort St. John on Wednesday.
The incident occurred at the Northeast BC Connector Pipeline project operated by NorthRiver Midstream.
NorthRiver Midstream said the three workers were transported to hospital to be assessed, but were released the same day.
The Canadian Energy Regulator (CER) said its Inspection Officers are following up on what it called a “serious injury.”
An investigation conducted by WorkSafeBC and the CER is underway. NorthRiver Midstream said it is cooperating with investigators.
The company said It immediately suspended work at the site and that the RCMP responded to the incident.
No information has been released about the cause of the incident or when work will resume at the site.
The NEBC Connector project is designed to connect NorthRiver Midstream’s Highway Liquids Hub, northwest of Wonowon, to the Gordondale area of Alberta.
The pipeline will transport condensate and natural gas liquids over 213 kilometres. It is expected to be in service by 2027.
