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

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 Halifax.

The ageing main has undergone several recent repairs, so has now been prioritised for replacement. The old main is being replaced with new, more durable plastic pipes, 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 begins on Monday 30th May 2022 and is expected to last for approximately five weeks. It has been planned in collaboration with Calderdale Council.

So that engineers can carry out the work safely, and to protect the public, some traffic management measures will be introduced.

Works will initially commence on Thorne Street, carried out under two-way lights.

A road closure will then be placed on Pellon Lane/Hanson Lane from 20th June, staying in place for approximately 10 days.

While the majority of the work will be carried out in the street, engineers will need to access customer properties to complete the project and ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas.

Chris Green, Business Operations Lead 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 continue to maintain a safe and reliable gas supply to the residents of Halifax.

“NGN is continuing to carry out its essential activities while following strict guidelines for safe distance working, where possible, and following good hygiene practices as we continue to live with coronavirus.

“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.”

While all of NGN’s work has now resumed, extra safety precautions remain in place to keep everyone safe while we continue to live with Covid-19.
