  • Issue 58 Castle Baynard Resident Cunn
    June 2018 Issue 58 Castle Baynard Resident Cunn GAS WORKS IN THE CITY In this issue: Residents will have Gas Works in the City noticed the continuing disruption and congestion Shoe Lane Library caused by street gas Home Delivery works in the City, the Service latest and most significant Blackfriars Station occurring in Gracechurch Underpass Street. This has necessitated the long- term closure of London Blackfriars Bridge Bridge to north bound traffic with vehicles being diverted to Tower and Blackfriars bridges causing increased congestion elsewhere in 36 INCH GAS MAIN INSTALLATION CIRCA 1880 the City. We hope the following information will give some useful background as to why these problems are occurring and the difficulty in remediating the situation quickly. In Greater London the gas distribution and supply network services approximately 2 million customers. Currently there are approximately 120,000 gas escapes, 12,000 excavations and 380 kilometres of mains replaced per annum. In April 2001 a 30-year programme was launched which aims to replace all iron pipes within 30 metres of buildings (some 45,000 kilometres in London). Many of these gas mains were laid over 100 years ago (see picture above) and were made of cast iron, ductile iron and steel. These old pipes are at the end of their life and are failing through corrosion or fracturing due to earth movement. These are being replaced by polyethylene pipes that can sustain higher pressures than the metal pipes and do not corrode. The new pipes are inserted inside the old pipes wherever possible to speed the work up and minimise disruption.
