Coquitlam Pole and Power Line Replacement
We're replacing aging poles and power lines between Como Lake Substation in Coquitlam and Barnard Substation in Burnaby to ensure we can continue delivering reliable power to your community.
We'll replace 87 wooden poles and overhead power lines between Como Lake Substation in Coquitlam and Barnard Substation near the Burnaby/Coquitlam border.
Many of the wooden poles and power lines between Como Lake and Barnard substations are nearing end-of-life. Replacing these structures will help ensure service reliability for your community.
We'll work along an existing right-of-way between Lougheed Highway and Como Lake Avenue to the east and Gaglardi Way and Broadway to the west.
