Woodfibre LNG’s export terminal in British Columbia has passed the halfway point of construction following a summer marked by visible progress onshore and offshore.

From May through September 2025, crews completed grading, excavation and concrete foundations while managing slope stabilization and erosion controls. Qualified environmental professionals conducted daily site monitoring, including habitat protection measures.

In May, the company received its first seven prefabricated modules, primarily pipe racks linking liquefaction and storage areas. Four additional units arrived in September, including a boil-off gas compressor and flare knock-out drums, both designed to improve operational efficiency and emissions control. In total, 19 modules are scheduled through 2026, ranging from 126 to 11,000 tonnes.

Vertical construction began mid-summer as modules were set in place, marking a visible shift from groundwork toward above-ground assembly. Offshore, piling began for the floating-storage-tank mooring system and LNG carrier berth under permits from the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office and the Squamish Nation. Marine-mammal observers monitored wildlife, while hydroacoustic monitoring ensured regulatory compliance.

By late September, foundation work, module installation and marine works had advanced the project beyond 50 percent completion, signaling steady momentum as the facility moves into its next phase of construction.
