Key Precautionary Measures
To protect our network from third party damage, we emphasise close coordination with the parties concerned with regard to any excavation work that may subject our pipelines to possible damage. Contractors are therefore requested to take a few key precautionary measures before they commence work.
If you are a contractor working in the vicinity of our underground pipeline network, can you please make sure you –
- obtain and study gas pipe location plans before starting site work.
- use pipe and cable locators together with the manual digging of trial holes to assure gas pipe locations.
- ensure no heavy machinery is used in the vicinity of our gas pipes.
- beware of syphon standpipes and cathodic protection (CP) cables.
- provide adequate support to exposed gas pipes.

Our Pipeline Replacement Programme
We continue to monitor and enhance our pipeline infrastructure with an active maintenance and rehabilitation programme that meets recognised quality assessment guidelines. This includes leakage inspections, corrosion control, a damage prevention system as well as the scheduled replacement of older pipelines. As part of this programme, the more traditional cast iron pipes in our network have all been replaced over the past few years and our gas mains network in Hong Kong now consists primarily of steel, ductile iron, or medium-density polyethylene piping.
