Mount Merrick Lodge stands as a testament to the innovative spirit of workforce accommodation, having been meticulously crafted to meet the specific requirements of those working on the Coastal GasLink project by TC Energy. This 304-bed lodge, strategically located near Chetwynd in British Columbia, was not merely a place to rest but a home away from home for the diligent crews. Its development unfolded in two distinct phases, each phase showcasing our commitment to providing scalable, top-tier housing solutions that prioritize both efficiency and safety.
From its initial occupation in early June 2021, Mount Merrick Lodge served as a vital hub, supporting the remote workers until the project’s completion in early 2024. The lodge’s design and amenities were a direct response to the unique lifestyle and demands of its residents, ensuring a comfortable and conducive living environment during their stay.
The Coastal GasLink project, a critical component of LNG Canada’s expansive $40-billion initiative, encompasses a 670-kilometre pipeline that forms the backbone of a broader strategy to harness and transport natural gas from the Montney region near Dawson Creek, BC. To a state-of-the-art gas liquefaction plant in Kitimat, Northern BC. This monumental project not only represents a significant engineering feat but also serves as a major employment driver, providing over 4,500 jobs and stimulating the local economy.
The sheer scale of the workforce required for the pipeline’s construction precipitated the need for efficient, adaptable lodging solutions. Mount Merrick Lodge was the answer to this demand, offering comprehensive services that included comfortable on-site accommodations, medical support through a dedicated on-site medic, and the collaboration with skilled subcontractors to ensure the project’s success.
