NorthRiver Midstream Inc. (previously Spectra Energy) is one of North America’s premier natural gas infrastructure companies serving three key links in the natural gas value chain: gathering and processing, transmission and storage, and distribution. NorthRiver ’s operations include approximately 3500 kms of transmission pipeline, as well as natural gas gathering and processing, natural gas liquids operations and local distribution assets.
For 13 years Sacré-Davey has been one of NorthRiver ’s preferred engineering service providers for critical ongoing capital support. Sacré-Davey has completed approximately 850 projects of varying sizes at 5 major gas plant facilities and multiple gathering, compression and power generation facilities across western Canada.
Scope of Work:

Acheivements:
Past projects have included: Pipelines, compression, pumping, heaters, heat exchangers, coolers, condensers, energy efficiency upgrades, controls, utilities, water reuse, process towers, sulphur plants, environmental, structural, HAZOP, and Root Cause Failure Analysis services for Oil, Gas, LNG and NGL.
Due to the large number of facilities, their age, and modification over the years, the prioritization and organization of the tasks for efficient design and implementation were critical.
Sacré-Davey maintains a multidisciplinary team to work closely with the client and their contractors to group and prioritize projects and ensure that all code and design packages are complete and on time.
All budgeted work was completed safely and numerous complex, difficult to resolve items have been cost-effectively resolved. These included many critical safety and full plant operational projects that had to be completed at remote sites or under tight shutdown timing constraints.The projects were completed on schedule with an exemplary cost estimation record for several major shutdowns.

The initial training of Jean Corbeil is in structural engineering and his specific experience is in the field of building structures. However, throughout his career, he has been a leader in construction projects in areas as diverse as rail infrastructure, road and municipal works, and multi-residential housing projects. For approximately 16 years, he was a partner in a consulting engineering firm in Laval, where his personal practice was focused on project engineering in Nunavik, on cause expertise and damage estimation in files. insurance claims and construction-related litigation, as well as technical support in several lawsuits. In West Africa, he has gained extensive experience in railway projects in Senegal, as well as in management, design and procurement documentation for road and municipal works in Mali. In mining, his more recent African experience was as director of the Endeavor Gold Processing Plant Expansion Project in Tabakoto, Mali.
Denis Thibodeau is a civil engineer with over thirty years of experience. The projects he has carried out are diversified, both in terms of technical expertise and scope. Many of the projects have been conducted in remote areas, up to the Canadian high Arctic, and several of them dealt with environmental issues such as fuel supply, decontamination or alternate energy.
He has been involved in the design, construction and operation of all the fuel depots of the Federation of Cooperatives of Northern Quebec, the Government of Nunavut and mining companies active in the Arctic. Over the last twenty years, he took part in more than fifty projects, for which he was responsible for construction logistics or the installation of petroleum equipment, and for the management of civil engineering works, particularly those relating to contaminated soils. He has also performed a number of feasibility studies for alternate energy sources in Northern Villages, from micro-hydropower plant to wind turbines. Denis has developed a unique expertise in permafrost construction. He is one of the Canadian experts in this field and has successfully conducted several projects using different techniques ensuring the durability of works in the Arctic.
