Wales & West Utilities is thanking the people of Plymouth for their patience following the completion of two gas pipe investment schemes in the city.

The £475,000 investment work involved upgrading over 3.5km of old metal pipes to new plastic ones in both the Launceston Close and Barndale Crescent areas.  It will make sure that local homes and businesses continue to receive a safe and reliable gas supply for years to come.

Ahead of the scheme Wales & West Utilities worked closely with Plymouth City Council to plan the work and keep disruption to a minimum.

Wales & West Utilities Programme Controller, Dominic Tester, managed the work and said:

“This work was important to keep the gas flowing to heat homes and power businesses in the area and to make sure the gas network is fit for the future.

“We are delighted to have finished our work in a timely fashion and would like to thank those people that live and travel around the areas for their patience while we were working.”
