Dinas Powys gas pipe upgrade to begin
Wales & West Utilities is to carry out essential gas pipe upgrade in the Station Road area of Dinas Powys.
It will take place between 14 January – 14 February and will keep the gas flowing to heat homes and power businesses so local people are kept safe and warm for generations to come.
In planning the work, the gas emergency and pipeline service has worked closely with Vale of Glamorgan Council and it has been agreed that throughout the scheme four-way traffic lights will be in place on Highwalls Road, at its junction with The Square and Britway Court.
We know that working on roads like this is not ideal, but it really is essential to make sure we keep the gas flowing to homes and businesses in the area, and to make sure the gas network is fit for the future. We’ll be working as safely and as quickly as possible to make sure the work is completed in a timely fashion, while keeping inconvenience to a minimum for local people and road users.
Our engineers are following all hygiene and social distancing guidelines and we would respectfully ask that you keep a 2m distance if passing our work site.
To power a green recovery from coronavirus, we’ll be working hard to keep the gas flowing safely today and to prepare the gas network to transport green gases, like biomethane and hydrogen, so it can play its part delivering green, sustainable energy in the future.
