Hi KerryRainer, We appreciate your concerns about potential spillage. The Safety Data Sheet for Spotleak 1005 lists the effects on humans if they are exposed. There would be an average of one odorant truck every two months delivering Mercaptan to the facility.

They would be required to wear the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The product is hand ...

This revised alignment was pursued in response to community concerns about possible disruptions to local businesses during construction. The Project would look to minimise impacts to train services where possible. See the revised gas pipeline map here. Two construction methods are being considered for approximately 56km of gas pi ...

In order to avoid impacts to this sensitive environment, we are proposing to use a Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) technique to lay the pipeline ...
