Work to upgrade gas pipe system in Deri is complete

News | | Published: 10:10, Thursday August 24th, 2017.

Gas pipe upgrade work in Deri has been completed.

Wales and West Utilities engineers have been working in the area since March, upgrading over 1.2km of old metal gas pipes to new plastic ones as part of a nationwide scheme.

The multi-million pound investment programme is replacing old metal pipes within 30 metres of buildings with plastic, which have an estimated life span of 80 years.

The £191,000 scheme in Deri will ensure the gas network is fit for the future.

Wales and West Utilities Programme Controller for the area, Francis Kirk, managed the work and said: “We are delighted that we’ve been able to finish this work in a timely fashion.

“We know our gas pipe upgrade work can be disruptive and we want to thank everyone who lives, works and travels through this area for bearing with us while we did this essential work.”
