Additional 528 workers in the field
Our field workforce exceeded 4,000 workers in November including those constructing our natural gas pipeline and related facilities, and in the areas of engineering and environment. Information on the diverse employment and contracting opportunities can be found at CoastalGasLink.com/Employment.

9A Lodge welcomes 81 workers
The latest addition to our operational workforce accommodation sites is 9A Lodge. Located near the west side of Section 7, many of the workers from this location are involved in Section 8 work, which is why the 9A Lodge is reported as being part of Section 8.
