How it affects you
During work, you may notice:
- Traffic control.
- Marking of utility lines and utility survey holes.
- Road and sidewalk closures.
- Temporary changes to access.
- Construction noise.
We install natural gas line by open trenching and boring.
- Open trenching involves digging a trench and placing the natural gas line in the trench.
- Boring uses a bore machine to create an underground pathway through which the line is pulled or drilled.
We are committed to maintaining a safe working environment in your community. For your safety and the safety of our crews, remember these tips:
- Watch for construction crews and equipment.
- Do not enter construction areas.
- Obey signage and directions from crews.
- Reduce speeds while traveling.
- Observe parking restrictions.
- Remain flexible as work progresses and work areas change.
We’ll restore work areas to preconstruction conditions as weather allows. Work areas may be left temporarily restored after construction until we can complete final restoration.
