Safety

Safety is our number one value and is fundamental to what we do.

The safety of the communities we operate in, our employees and the environment we live and work in is paramount.  As a leading North American energy infrastructure company, our experience in building major export facilities off the West-Coast helps drive continued progress while being anchored by safety.

As AltaGas and Vopak partners to build this critical project, the teams on the ground stay committed to getting the project done, safely and reliably.

Stay Informed

As progress on the REEF project continues to roll out, we are committed to keeping our stakeholders and right holders up-to-date on project construction on a monthly basis.
