恢复景观
A research team led by a leading University of Alberta professor published papers highlighting the success of land reclamation efforts after construction of the Keystone Pipeline following a 10-year research project on rare plant species along the pipeline corridor in southern Alberta.
Before construction of Keystone began in 2009, TC Energy partnered with Dr. M. 安妮Naeth, a professor of land reclamation and restoration ecology at the University of Alberta, to establish a monitoring program along approximately 12 kilometres of the project’s corridor. Dr. Naeth and her graduate students conducted rare plant surveys each spring and assessed the soil and plant communities over a 10-year period – with the goal of understanding the impact of pipelines on the prairie landscape.
Research results showed that even sensitive arid habitat could recover within a short period of time – with native grasses and forbs (including wild flowers) returning – if the right mitigation measures and construction techniques are applied.

保护西弗吉尼亚州的一处奇观
The Monongahela National Forest (MNF) in West Virginia – one of the most biologically diverse national forests in the U.S. – happens to be along the pathway of the WB Xpress (WBX) natural gas pipeline, 哪一个是最近投入使用的.
将近四年, TC能源公司与各种MNF资源专家密切合作, 包括土壤科学家, 野生动物学家, 水文学家, 水生生物学家和植物学家期间的规划, 项目的许可和施工阶段.
“The TransCanada team really made an effort to work with us on the WB XPress project. 他们设定了高标准, and went out of their way to ensure that all forest resources were protected. 这个团队信守了他们的诺言, 跟进他们的承诺, 他们说要做什么就做什么. They also talked with us throughout the project and were very transparent about their actions. 公司应该为这个团队的工作质量感到自豪.”
