Torquay gas works finish on time
Wales & West Utilities has completed work to upgrade gas pipes in the Barton Hill Road area of Torquay.
The works were essential to keep the gas flowing safely to heat and power local homes and businesses, keeping people warm for generations. The gas emergency and pipeline service worked with Torbay Council to plan the project, and traffic management was in place throughout.
Wales & West Utilities Natalie Raphael managed this work and said:
“We are pleased to complete this project on time, and we’d like to thank the local community for bearing with us whilst we completed this essential work.
“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 Torquay 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.”
