We’ll shortly begin work to upgrade our gas network within the Slamannan area of Falkirk.
This essential work involves replacing of 900m of metallic gas mains with new plastic pipe in the Slamannan area of Falkirk, ensuring a continued safe and reliable gas supply to the local community. It will also ensure our network is ready for green sources of energy, such as hydrogen, in future.
We’ve planned our work in close consultation with the local authorities to reduce disruption as much as possible. Our project will begin on Monday 3 April and will be carried out by our contractor George Ritchie Utilities on our behalf and will take approximately eight weeks to complete.
