Subject field(s)
  • Titles of Federal Government Programs (Canadian)
  • National and International Security
  • Customs and Excise
OBS

The Border Infrastructure Fund was implemented to improve the flow of people and goods at border crossings. The fund provides up to 50 percent federal funding to support eligible projects for investments in physical infrastructure, transportation system infrastructure and improved analytical capacity at the largest surface border crossings between Canada and the United States, as well and several other crossing points in Canada. Transport Canada is the federal delivery partner for this program.

OBS

Le Fonds sur l'infrastructure frontalière a été mis en œuvre pour améliorer la circulation des gens et des produits aux postes frontaliers. Le Fonds fournit jusqu'à 50 p. 100 du financement en fonds fédéraux pour soutenir les projets admissibles en ce qui concerne les infrastructures physiques, les réseaux de transport et les capacités d'analyse améliorées aux principaux postes frontaliers entre le Canada et les États-Unis, ainsi que dans plusieurs autres postes frontaliers au Canada. Transports Canada est le partenaire d'exécution fédéral dans le cadre de ce programme.

Record 2 2018-08-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tunnels, Overpasses and Bridges
CONT

A pair of twin bridges is often referred to collectively as a twin-span bridge... Bridges of this type are often created by building a new bridge parallel to an existing one in order to increase the traffic capacity of the crossing. While most twin-span bridges consist of two identical bridges, this is not always the case.

OBS

two-span bridge: term officially approved by the Engineers Terminology Working Group on bridging.

Domaine(s)
  • Tunnels, viaducs et ponts

Record 3 2002-03-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Transport of Oil and Natural Gas
CONT

On a peak-day basis, interstate pipe-line delivery capability into California is about 7 billion cubic feet per day while California's ability to absorb natural gas within the intrastate pipeline and distribution system("take-away" capability) appears to be less, as low pressures and the inability to meet some inter-ruptible gas load during peak periods indicate.... Although the physical capability of the delivery point at Ehrenberg, AZ, could permit an estimated 1, 410 MMcf/d to be delivered, the intrastate system can receive only 1, 210 MMcf/d. 13 The California Energy Commission estimated that the imbalance at the northern corridor crossing(Needles/Topock) is about 350 Mmcf/d. 14. These two estimates for the separate State border crossings combined indicate a potential shortfall in receipt capacity of 550 MMcf/d along the Arizona border.

CONT

The interstate capacity into California is approximately 7,435,000 Mcf/day³(an Mcf is roughly equal to an MMBtu) and the intrastate receipt capacity (takeaway capacity) is approximately 6,675,000 Mcf/day.

Key term(s)
  • receipt capability
  • takeaway capability
  • take-away capacity

French

Domaine(s)
  • Transport du pétrole et du gaz naturel
CONT

La capacité à Huntingdon (C.-B.) est consituée d'une capacité de réception de 1,18 109 pi³ /j de la Northwest Pipeline Company (le principal réseau de transport par gazoduc reliant le Nord-Ouest en bordure du Pacifique) et d'une capacité de 0,1 109 pi³/j pour les exportations transitant par d'autres réseaux.

CONT

Le gazoduc Northwinds permettra aux marchés américains de bénéficier de l'offre croissante de gaz naturel provenant du marché central du gaz naturel à Dawn en Ontario. Actuellement, ce centre régional a une capacité de transport par gazoduc de plus de 3,5 milliards de pieds cubes par jour et une capacité de stockage excédant 870 milliards de pieds cubes. Grâce à des interconnexions le long du tracé du gazoduc et dans la région d'Ellisburg-Leidy (important marché de gaz naturel pour la côte est), Northwinds aura accès à une capacité de transport de plus de cinq milliards de pieds cubes sur les systèmes de gazoduc inter-États qui approvisionnent les principaux marchés de la côte est.
