GNI has a target for reducing Unintentional Emissions of Natural Gas from equipment by 50 percent by 2030. To align with this goal, there is a focus on treating High Volume Gas Escapes (HVGEs) on distribution mains. Appr…
oximately 85-100 third party strikes occur on distribution mains annually, normally caused by excavators. This damage contributes significantly to the overall methane emissions from the GNI network. The purpose of this project is to develop tools that can be deployed quickly and efficiently to the s
ite of a gas escape and bring that gas escape safely under control to prevent further emissions. The High Volume Gas Escape tools will be suitable for gas pipelines operating up to 4 bar pressure, on a polyethylene network and will be deplo
