Project update: 13 December
UPDATE - Friday 13 December
After successfully completing the laying, testing and commissioning of our new gas main, we've now fully reopened the B898.
We’ve also now completed all the gas connections for the whole of the new pipeline running from Birnam to Logierait, while having safely decommissioned the old pipeline.
While all the gas operational works have now finished, there remain some final elements for us to complete.
These will be at various locations along the B898, so you may still see our engineers on site for a while. But please be assured, nothing we’re doing now will affect anyone’s access to the road.
We need to undertake some work at our gas transmission station at Logierait. This is because it will be removed completely between January and April next year. All of these subsequent works will take place on private land and we’re currently in discussions with individual landowners.
Please note our BirnamtoLogierait@sgn.co.uk mailbox will close from Friday, 13 December 2024. Should you have any questions about the project specifically or more generally on our gas network, please email our customer service team at customer@sgn.co.uk
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.
