Project Details

The TC Terminals Project will consist of a tank storage facility located in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland area and will be constructed to provide crude oil batch accumulation and terminal services. The tank storage facility will include:

• Construction of six above ground storage tanks. Four tanks with a maximum operating capacity of 350,000 barrels and two tanks with a maximum operating capacity of 250,000 barrels, a total storage capacity of up to 1.9 million barrels;

• Required electrical infrastructure, instrumentation controls, communication and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system equipment;

• A central manifold to accommodate incoming and outgoing pipelines (a manifold is a device that diverts crude oil into various lines or into a storage tank without interrupting the flow);

• Associated facilities, including booster pumps and interconnecting piping as well as electric transformers, and associated buildings required for a tank storage facility;

• Crude oil receipt connections; and Environmental and Socio-Economic Considerations

• Custody transfer metering. Our intent is to avoid or minimize potential effects on the land and the environment.

What to Expect During Construction and Beyond

Equipment On Site

During construction, there will be heavy equipment on site for use in earth moving, excavation material handling/hauling, welding and testing. Temporary equipment on site may include graders, bulldozers, backhoes, welding equipment, and portable cranes. Permanent on-site equipment may include a field services building, booster pumps, crude oil tanks, valves, meters and related piping, transformers and associated shelters.

This project does not involve oil or gas exploration and/or production, therefore, a Aerial view of Hardisty Terminal in Hardisty, Alberta derrick will not be required to be on site.
