Geotech团队任务

As a member of the geotechnical team that studied the Trans Mountain pipeline in the mid-1990s, engineer Dharmapriya Wijewickreme says Kinder Morgan's early task will be to identify risks posed to the new pipeline by soil movements, such as seismic activity, and then gear the designs to avoid, isolate or withstand the effects of those risks.

Wijewickreme说：“当您进行新的管道对齐方式时，从监管或社会角度来看，某人都会提出问题。”“当他们这样做时，您想说的是，'这些是我们要采取的缓解措施。'“

不列颠哥伦比亚省Living Oceans Society执行董事Karen Wristen将提出很多问题。她的主要关注点是34艘油轮，穿过附近的岛屿和Juan de Fuca海峡，该管道将提供。

“It's not without its risk as it stands," Wristen says. "It's not the simplest route, and certainly the lands that are at risk, should there be an accident, are some of the most spectacular that we've got."

Toth说，对Wristen的关注的答案是加拿大运输标准的标准，需要一项彻底的研究来评估与存在的航行和环境挑战有关的油轮交通。新利18备用他说：“这还将包括对油轮影响的频率或潜力，以及潜在溢出物对生态学的影响。它们非常全面。”
