The Trans Mountain pipeline has restarted following a three-week precautionary shutdown during a series of storms that battered B-C. The federal Crown corporation says the pipeline was safely restarted Sunday after all necessary assessments and repairs were completed. It says some of that work included the construction of “protective earthworks” after flooding exposed sections of the pipeline that carries 300-thousand barrels per day of petroleum products from Alberta to B.C. Trans Mountain says it’s monitoring the pipeline on the ground, by air and through its control centre after the restart.
