What we are doing
High Speed Two (HS2) is the new high-speed railway for Britain. Working on behalf of HS2 Ltd, National Grid is legally required to move a number of overhead electricity lines, pylons and gas pipelines along the HS2 route to allow for the build and operation of the new railway.
The new HS2 railway will pass above two of our existing gas pipelines in the vicinity of Den Lane in Blakenhall. We intend to divert the gas pipelines between January to November 2024 so they can continue to operate safely and reliably.
To ensure we have a better understanding of the surrounding area, our contractor, Wood, will carry out ecology walkover surveys in the vicinity of our gas pipelines. Those closest to the site may notice two people on-site for a couple of days around mid/late July while the surveys are underway. None of our work will affect gas supplies.
