Work to upgrade over 1,700 metres of gas pipes in the Bush Street area of Pembroke Dock has completed on time.
Wales & West Utilities has been working on the £385,000 project since the end of January. It was essential to keep the gas flowing safely and reliably to local homes and businesses, keeping people warm for generations to come.
To plan the work Wales & West Utilities liaised with Pembrokeshire County Council and traffic management was in place throughout.
Wales & West Utilities Adam Smith managed this gas pipe upgrade work. He said:
We are pleased to have completed this essential work on time and would like to thank the local community for their patience.
While most of the gas network is underground and out of sight, it plays a central role in the daily lives of people across the wider area. Whether it’s heating your home, making the family dinner or having a hot bath, we understand how important it is for your gas supply to be safe and reliable and there when you need it.
This work was essential to keep the gas flowing to local homes and businesses today, and to make sure the gas network is ready to transport hydrogen and biomethane, so we can all play our part in a green future.
