Actually,  The state has started the engineering on the line, which is going to run through Canada. They have figured that the inital engineering will take about a year and a half, and then go from there.
If you are looking for work in Alaska as a CWI there is plenty.  You can tipicaly get anywhere from $500-$600 or more a day. Some work 2 weeks on 2 weeks off, and some work as long as they want to with time off in between hitches. Don't be fooled if you want work you can get it!

you fellas talking about what's called the mackenzie delta pipeline?  If so I definetely wouldn't hold my breath over it, tons of BS on the canadian side anyways.

You will not have a chance anyway - that is if the europeans move in with the CSWIP and EWF certs....trust me on this one.

according to pipeline news magazine, the pipeline connecting the north slope of alaska to the U.S.(chicago) is supposed to start in 2009.  but,,theres also a huge problem with that.  i cant remember if the magazine said it was gonna be 52 inch or 56 inch.  either way the magazine stated that nobody makes this diameter pipe anymore,,so theyre having a problem in finding a facility large enough and capable of making as much pipe needed for this job. if this is the case,,dont hold your  breathe.  but trans-canada is involved in the project.  go to www.pipelinenews.org  youll have to pay for it but theres so much work in there its unreal

It's the Alaska Denali Pipeline from Alpine to Ft. McMurray and it is real and approved. Pay is around 35-45 per hour and the hour are plentiful. Expect 91-100 a week. I was in Kuparuk field so we knew about it first hand. To check jobs google ASRC and go to employment link. Good luck
