The proposed Mackenzie Gas Project would become one of the most complex undertakings in the NWT to date:

• to assist with community consultation, the project has staff in three regional offices.
• during the peak construction season, up to 7000 people will work on pipeline construction
• the pipeline system will be built in sections "or spreads" ranging in length from 120 to 160 kilometres
• more than 40 self-sufficient camps will be needed to house the thousands of construction workers and support personnel
• the project will make use of four to five million cubic metres of natural construction material such as gravel and sand
• about 19 barge landing sites will be required to land materials transported by barge down the Mackenzie River – eight of these sites already exist
• initially, four compressor stations could be built but as new natural gas discoveries are developed, more compressor stations may be added
• compressor stations will be monitored 24/7 from a central operations control center
• total length of the gathering system, natural gas liquids pipeline and natural gas pipeline is about 1900 kilometres
• the natural gas pipeline will take gas from a processing facility near Inuvik to an interconnect facility in northwestern Alberta – a distance of about 1,200 kilometres.
• 1200 kilometres is about the same distance as driving the round trip from Edmonton to Calgary and back twice.
