Location: Ballan, Victoria
Timeframe: Completion around Dec 2024/Jan 2025.
The Ballan City Gate was experiencing supply issues due to ice forming around the pipes during cold weather, narrowing their available diameter - just look at that photo! We’ve constructed a new on-site water heater that will reduce the impact of winter weather conditions.
A City Gate is part of the gas supply chain. It’s the point where the gas transmission network (where gas is moved from production facilities across Victoria in large pipelines) connects to our distribution network. At a City Gate, transmission gas pressure gets regulated down to the pressure needed to distribute it safely to homes and businesses.
