Windsor Pipeline Replacement
In Windsor, Essex County and Chatham-Kent, there is a need to ensure our pipelines and infrastructure continue to deliver natural gas reliably. With that in mind, Enbridge Gas Inc. is proposing to replace the Windsor Line natural gas pipeline.
Our proposed project involves replacing approximately 60 km of the existing Windsor Line, which is a combination of 8 inch and 10-inch diameter pipelines, with a new 6-inch diameter pipeline that will be constructed in the vicinity of the existing pipeline.
It will begin at Enbridge Gas' Sandwich Compressor Station, between Del Duca Drive and County Road 46 in the Town of Tecumseh, and will follow County Road 46 and Lakeshore Road 309 in the Town of Lakeshore, and then follow Goodreau Line to the existing Enbridge Gas Port Alma Gate Station in the Municipality of Chatham-Kent.

Our proposed project is subject to Ontario Energy Board (OEB) approval. If approved, construction could begin as early as spring 2020.

Information sessions will be held:
We value the thoughts and ideas of interested parties. Feedback received from the public, through the information sessions, and other venues, will be instrumental in evaluating and confirming the final preferred route for the pipeline.
We take great care to construct our projects in a respectful manner that minimizes community impacts.
We've been safely operating in Ontario for more than 100 years, and carry our strong and established safety culture to each and every project. Safety is our top priority, and our pipelines and facilities are designed to meet stringent safety codes and requirements of the Canadian Standards Association and the Technical Standards and Safety Authority.
We are also a big contributor to the economic vitality of the province. Our experienced pipeline contractors, for example, will use many local resources to build the pipeline and where possible will procure materials from the local community.
