Flotel!!
This is how they propose to house some of the workers during LNG plant construction ... when/if construction starts (I think at least 3 plants will be built)... good idea, similar to how they housed some security/media during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics - although a bit more basic ;) Floating Hotel Arrives in Kitimat to House 600 Alcan Workers BC Business, March 10, 2014 Quote:

Wow, expecting to need a 15% increase in BC's population in the next 6 years just to fill jobs... maybe 20%+ if you include dependents. Insane.
|
Surely we could find some of those 265,000 workers from within Canada...
|
Until I start seeing some construction photos of these facilities it is still all fantasy to me. I really do hope this predicted boom occurs, BC needs it, good thing the Liberals are in power currently.

Some site preparation construction photos's from Apache's Bish Cove/Kitimat LNG project site. Early Works Construction – started February 2011 – present. Works include falling, pad building, clearing/ grubbing, burning, drilling/ blasting, crushing, road building, storm water management, hydro seeding and overall site services:

Wow, thanks for posting! Will this be a processing plant or just a shipping terminal?
Also, if they are doing this should there also not be some pipeline work going on? PS: I am so happy that this is taken place a little under the radar so the hippies don't get their hemp panties in a knot. I am 100% for the environment but we also need industry. As long as the much more potentially damaging northern gateway is being fought the LNG projects (which are hugely beneficial to BC and relatively safe for the environment) should be safe from too much miss informed backlash. |
It will be interesting to see the legalities of the LNG tax when it is finalized. I bet it changes the profile of some of the projects for sure (build a bit longer pipe, regulate under National Energy Board, and buy continental gas).
