Book Description

"This paper constitutes a statement of the transportation facilities serving the Mackenzie River Valley, which could be required for the construction logistics of a larger diameter natural gas pipeline, the related gas processing plants and further oil and gas exploration and development. It describes the existing facilities and operations of the railway, highway, air and marine transport systems and assesses the impact which pipeline construction traffic would have on these modes. Particular emphasis is given the waterway in view of its prime importance to community resupply, its seasonal nature, and the relative inflexibility of capacity variation in short term."--Leaf 1.
