Project update: 30 August

Phase 3 - B898 - pipelaying now complete

Our work is continuing to progress well and all of the pipelaying work in the B898 is now completed, shown on the map below.

Reaching this stage means we continue to be ahead of schedule.

Now the new pipe is fully laid in the road, work continues for safety monitoring, engineering tests and general commissioning work. This means the B898 has been temporarily re-opened in both directions.

We require a two-day road closure on the 23 and 24 September, and from mid-October the road will be closed again for approximately six weeks whilst we complete the final stages of our project.

We will continue to keep you informed with the progress we are making on the project.

There's more information here in our project leaflet.

 

Phases one and two of our project are completed.

Project background

One of our gas pipes runs close to the River Tay, and due to some erosion on the river bank we need to move and upgrade this section of our network.

Our gas network in the area remains safe and there's no immediate risk, but we want to carry out our construction work now to ensure a safe and reliable gas supply.

Our new pipeline will run between Birnam and Logierait and the project is being carried out by our contractors Advance Group Limited and Morrison Energy Services.

Keeping you informed

We have held multiple drop-in sessions to share details about our plans, answer questions and receive feedback. If you were unable to attend these sessions, you can download the information boards.

You can also keep updated with our plans, or advise us on any special events we should be aware of, by signing up to our project email distribution list.

We're updating this dedicated web page as our project progresses, writing to affected residents to keep them informed, and publishing project milestones in The Bridge community newsletter.
