Flowline Project Delivery is a BC-based construction management consulting firm. Basilio Gatonye, P.Eng. brings 18+ years of major program experience — pipeline, water, wastewater, and civil — to owners, contractors, and project sponsors across Western Canada.
Flowline Project Delivery Inc. is a BC-incorporated construction management consulting firm led by Basilio Gatonye, P.Eng. — a registered professional engineer with over 18 years of progressive leadership delivering complex infrastructure programs across Canada, from field-level execution to billion-dollar program management.
Flowline provides senior construction management expertise to owners, contractors, and project sponsors — whoever needs the depth of experience to deliver a complex infrastructure program. Whether embedded as an owner’s representative, a contractor’s construction manager, or an independent technical adviser, the standard of work is the same. Clients work directly with senior expertise, not junior staff.
Prior to founding Flowline, Basilio led the construction of Metro Vancouver’s Coquitlam Main No. 4 South Section — the largest watermain under construction in Canada at 3.2 m diameter — and brings that same senior-level programme management to every Flowline engagement.
Flowline works with owners, contractors, and project sponsors — whoever needs senior construction management expertise on a complex program. When a contractor retains Flowline as their construction manager or project director, the engagement is straightforward: Flowline represents the contractor’s interests on that project. We never act for both sides on the same program.
Flowline operates across three service tracks — owner-side construction management, independent advisory for institutional clients, and direct technical support for contractors and construction teams.
Hands-on construction management for active pipeline, water, and wastewater programs. Whether retained by the owner or the contractor, we manage scope, protect schedule, and drive delivery.
Full owner-side CM from pre-construction through commissioning. Scope, schedule, cost, and quality control. Contractor management, RFI and submittal administration, and field oversight.
Embedded representation on major capital programs. We act as your eyes on the ground — attending site, chairing progress meetings, managing change, and reporting directly to the owner.
CPM schedule development, baseline control, and progress tracking. Integrated schedule management for multi-contractor programs. Delay identification and mitigation planning.
Independent technical review, constructability assessment, and field inspection by a registered P.Eng. Material conformance, spec compliance, and QMS across EGBC and APEGA jurisdictions.
Large-diameter water transmission, natural gas, and liquid pipeline programs. HDD, trenchless methods, and open-cut. T-South / NGTL and major municipal water transmission experience.
Construction management for WWTP and wastewater infrastructure programs. Civil, mechanical, and process works. Experience on programs of national significance across Western Canada.
Independent advisory for institutional clients, lenders, and program sponsors. We assess, diagnose, and reset challenged programs — and help structure governance for new ones.
Independent assessment of program health for owners, lenders, and boards. We identify scope, schedule, and cost risk — and provide a clear picture of program status against its original baseline.
Forensic delay analysis and schedule reconstruction for disputed or stalled programs. CPM-based window analysis and time impact assessment for lenders, arbitration, and program reset.
Practical recovery planning for programs that have fallen behind. We assess root causes, define a realistic path forward, and provide the technical foundation for a credible program reset.
Design and implementation of delivery governance frameworks for new programs. Stage gates, reporting structures, risk registers, and performance metrics tailored to program scale.
Lender’s engineer and independent monitor services. Progress certification, draw verification, and technical reporting for DFIs, banks, and institutional investors.
Infrastructure advisory for institutional sponsors and DFIs in emerging markets. Program structuring, execution intelligence, and technical oversight for complex cross-border programs.
Senior construction management and technical expertise available directly to contractors. When a contractor retains Flowline as their CM or project director, the same rigour applies — schedule discipline, scope control, and delivery focus from day one.
Pre-bid and pre-construction constructability review. We help contractors identify scope gaps, schedule risk, and pricing exposure before mobilisation — reducing change order disputes downstream.
CPM schedule build, baseline setting, and ongoing schedule control for contractors managing complex civil and pipeline programs. Integrated look-ahead scheduling and progress reporting.
Technical documentation, contemporaneous record management, and delay analysis to support contractor claims. Schedule-based delay analysis and expert narrative for dispute resolution and negotiation.
The experience Basilio brings to Flowline spans major pipeline, water, wastewater, and civil programs across Western Canada and Ontario — from $30M field contracts to billion-dollar megaprojects.
The largest watermain under active construction in Canada at 3.2 m diameter. Appointed to stabilise a critically at-risk program — achieved 40% productivity improvement and two months of schedule recovery.
Led constructability and trenchless design across ~100 crossings on the $1.1B TMEP program. Delivered $50M+ in cost avoidance and contributed to ~5 months of schedule recovery.
PM and senior engineer on 42.6 km of 48-inch mainline expansion. Secured ~$7M in approved changes through proactive contract strategy and strengthened margin performance.
20 km of urban gas pipeline through Vancouver, Burnaby, and Coquitlam crossing 2,000+ utilities. One of the most complex urban pipeline projects in Western Canada in the last 40 years.
49.6 km of natural gas transmission pipeline through the Greater Toronto Area. Multiple track bore crossings designed and delivered, replacing planned open-cut to save time and reduce impact.
923 m marine HDD of a 1.07 m diameter steel force main from Ogden Point, with ocean outfall installed in three segments. Complex trenchless execution in a sensitive marine environment.
11 km of new natural gas mainline construction in coastal BC. Full project engineering and field execution oversight across a technically demanding corridor for FortisBC.
36 km mainline gas transmission construction on the Thornbury Section for TransCanada. Delivered on schedule across a high-productivity open-cut corridor in Northern Alberta.
64 km of mainline crude oil pipeline from Edmonton to Hardisty for Enbridge. Project engineering on a high-throughput transmission program in Central Alberta.
Integrity dig program supporting the Line 9B flow-reversal project for Enbridge. Field engineering and pipeline maintenance execution across multiple dig sites in Ontario.
The longest NPS 42 HDD completed in North America at 2,195 m. Precision directional drilling across a major northern Alberta river in a sensitive environmental corridor.
Active engagement as Construction Manager for Metro Vancouver — 2.0 km, 1.8 m diameter steel water transmission main in New Westminster, BC. Flowline’s current program (2026–present).
Programs span liquid and gas transmission, municipal water transmission, wastewater, and trenchless infrastructure across BC, Alberta, and Ontario — from $30M field contracts to $1.1B megaprograms.
