The NEB is committed to continually increasing the amount of pipeline information available to the public. Among the pipeline resources available on the NEB’s website are a regularly updated Safety Performance Dashboard, a list of regulated companies, and an Interactive Pipeline Map.
The Interactive Pipeline Map shows the location of NEB-regulated pipelines and all reportable incidents that have occurred on them. The incident data can be broken down by company, incident type, year and scale. Using this interactive tool, Canadians can now easily see where pipelines are located and find important related safety information.
