This paper reports on the installation of a gas pipeline system connecting Vancouver Island to the British Columbia mainland. The design challenges of this project have consisted of deep water (maximum 1,360 ft; 415 m) steep and rocky shores, and an irregular seabed topography. In addition, the project location is far from an established offshore construction market, necessitating long- distance mobilization of specialized equipment.
