Fortis BC, one of BC’s largest energy providers, has chosen to use the well established Ktunaxa Nation-owned business, Nupqu, to help with environmental work for gas line project upgrades.
Nupqu completed the site clearing for the Fortis BC project, which included over 200 kilometers of gas line in the area, to cater for the implementation of state of the art in-line inspection tools through it.
Kevin Wilson, Business Development Manager of Nupqu, said they partnered with another Ktunaxa Nation-owned company called Kettle River Contracting to complete clearing work along Fortis BC rights-of-way. This prepared the sites for safe construction.
