Description
At the request of DCC, Cadent Gas need to carry out investigatory work on their own assets to ensure the asset is robust enough given the increased loading from the SDGZ scheme. The work is essentially to expose the medium/high pressure gas main and to inspect the welds to ensure they are deemed to be sufficient or deficient which will lead to install a sleeve which would come out of Cadent's own budget.
