This paper reports that after more than 4 yr of arduous regulatory review at the state and federal levels, the Iroquois pipeline is moving it focus from the hearing room into the field in preparation for the construction and completion of the 370-mile pipeline. At full volume, the Iroquois Gas Transmission System will transport 575.9 MMcfd from Alberta to the Northeast U.S., the energy equivalent of 100,000 bbl/day of oil. Iroquois intends to begin service to New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island and New Hampshire by November 1991. Direct deliveries to Connecticut and Long Island will commence in January 1992. Iroquois is the largest pipeline construction project in the Northeast U.S. since the construction of the Tennessee and Algonquin pipelines in the 1950s. Of the $583-million cost, about 40% ($235 million) will be spent to build the pipeline. This includes the cost of survey, radiographic examinations of the pipe welds and vibration monitoring during blasting. Iroquois has prompted significant expansion of pipeline systems in the U.S. and Canada.
