SCI is performing wetland delineations of over 850 miles of the Keystone-XL Pipeline route through Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska. Hundreds of wetlands, ponds and streams along the centerline, access roads, pump stations, transmission lines and contractor yards have already been surveyed. Our services include wetland delineations, access road, contractor yard and transmission line surveys and threatened/endangered species and noxious weed habitat surveys. SCI follows a strict safety plan in an effort to minimize reportable incidents and coordinates with land agents regarding right of way access issues.

This TransCanada project consists of approximately 1,704 miles of pipeline, with approximately 329 miles in Canada and 1,375 miles within the United States. It will interconnect with the northern and southern termini of the 298-mile long Cushing extension pipeline in the United States to complete a direct pipeline from Alberta to the United States Gulf Coast. Construction is set to begin in the United States during 2010 and 2011.
