Northern Gas Networks to carry out essential upgrade work to maintain a safe and reliable gas supply in Hedon

Posted on

Northern Gas Networks (NGN), the gas distributor for the North of England, is carrying out essential work to ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in Hedon.

The ageing metal pipework is being upgraded to ensure a safe and reliable supply of gas to customers now while getting the network ready to transport alternative greener fuels in the future.

The work which began on the 2nd of January 2024 and is expected to be complete on the Friday 5th April, has been planned in collaboration with East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

So that engineers can carry out the work safely and efficiently, and to protect the public, some temporary traffic management has been put in place.

On Monday, we implemented a road closure on Station Road from due to the location of the gas main. This closure has now been removed and the road is now open.

A final closure on Baxter Gate from George Street junction will be implemented on Monday the 18th of March for three weeks reopening from Friday the 5th of April.

Chris Keith, Operations Manager for Northern Gas Networks, said: “We would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused during these essential works. However, it is vital we complete them in order to continue to maintain a safe and reliable gas supply to the residents of Hedon.

“We want to assure residents and road users that we will be working hard to complete this essential scheme as safely and as quickly as possible.”

For further information about the work please contact NGN’s Customer Care Team on 0800 040 7766 or email: customercare@northerngas.co.uk.

Anyone that smells gas or suspects carbon monoxide should call the National Gas Emergency Service immediately on 0800 111 999. This line is in operation 24-hours a day, seven days a week.

Removal of former Gas Tower – Gas Holder No.6, Cripplegate, Halifax 

Posted on

Northern Gas Networks (NGN), is the gas distributor for the North of England, deliverying gas to 2.7 million homes and businesses in the North East, Northern Cumbria and much of Yorkshire.

Mark Johnson, Senior Project Manager for Northern Gas Networks (NGN) said: “We can confirm that the dismantling of the gas holder known as Gas Holder No.6 in Halifax is currently ongoing. The entire project is set to be completed by the end of June 2024.

“For over 100 years, gas holders were a vital part of the gas network. The Halifax gasworks site opened in March 1823 and was operational until 1969. During this time there were a total of 6 gas holders on site supplying the district. Since 1969 all plant and gas holders have been taken down, apart from No6.

“Gas holders are no longer needed as advances in network technology means the gas network itself is a giant storage system which responds to peaks in demand. We’ll be removing 47 holders from our network by 2026.

“We have made a regulatory commitment to take down redundant structures to eliminate the safety, social and environmental risks.

“We know how important these structures can be to communities, so would encourage anyone with memories of the holder to share them with us by emailing gasholdermemories@northerngasnetworks.co.uk.”

Anyone that smells gas or suspects carbon monoxide should call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. This line is in operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
