Pipeline Surveys
Thompson Conn was a major partner in Terratech Consultants Inc., a consortium
of Maritime survey firms providing surveying services for Maritime & Northeast
Pipeline’s natural gas mainline from Goldboro, Guysborough County, Nova Scotia
through to the New Brunswick - Maine border, as well as lateral lines into
Halifax, Nova Scotia and St. John, New Brunswick. Terratech successfully
completed all aspects of survey work from establishing a solid control network,
cutting several hundred kilometers of line, determining legal boundaries through
to construction and the preparation of legal plans for easement acquisition.
Ken Whalen, a Partner with Thompson Conn, was responsible for a majority of
the legal surveys required to obtain the necessary easements through Nova Scotia
and he managed the many field crews, office staff and supervisors for the survey
portion of the mainline from Goldboro to Moncton during the construction phase.
Ken also managed the survey of the lateral from the M&NP Mainline to Amherst,
Nova Scotia for Heritage Gas.
