We are the UK’s largest gas distribution network, bringing gas to 11 million homes and businesses. We manage a network of more than 82,000 miles of pipes, most of them underground, which transport gas throughout the North West, West Midlands, East Midlands, East of England and North London.
On July 22, 2024, we launched a trial in North London in collaboration with Bohr, who are renowned for their expertise in natural gas, hydrogen, and biomethane. Bohr’s advanced vehicle-mounted leak detection technology will be a key component of this trial.
Initally, the focus will be on trialling Bohr's technology alongside our current observed methane detection technology from Picarro. Results from both technologies will be closely monitored throughout the trial, providing important learnings for us and the gas industry.
Our operational and engineering teams are at the forefront of this initiative, ensuring the trial runs smoothly and effectively. Their expertise and commitment are crucial to the success of this project.
