Pipeline Project Permits - Compressor Station

Compressor Station

The construction of permanent facilities such as a compressor station will require a larger number of permits/authorizations and possibly land tenure. Given the nature of these stations, greater consideration will be given to site location and site preparation to meet overall design specifications of the project. These sites will require permanent access.
