Iroquois Pipeline to Construct Stronger Retaining Wall in Brookfield Following 2024 Flood Damage

Iroquois Pipeline has received approval for a new 57-foot retaining wall at its Brookfield facility, following damage from a 2024 flood. The new structure will be twice as long as the previous 28-foot wall and designed to withstand severe weather events. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved the plans, which were presented at a public hearing. Iroquois is also undergoing a review for a separate $270 million project to expand its compressor station capacity.

The wall will be built after calculations for 100-year and 500-year storm events were made. This wall's construction is separate from Iroquois' ongoing $270 million project to expand the compressor station's capacity, which is still under state review. Concerns raised during public hearings focused on ensuring access during emergencies.
