Safety Innovation Above ground PRIs (gas governors) are used wherever possible. It is our preference that all PRI housings should be walk in, purpose built housings, or standard GRP housings consisting of double doors complete with a 3-point locking system. Where a GC type kiosk is proposed to be used, the agreement of EA Pipelines needs to be obtained, supported by a suitable, detailed site-specific risk assessment. The location of the PRI needs to be agreed with us and clearly shown on plans, together with the specific details of the proposals for vehicular access and off-road parking, accessibility for future maintenance, and proximity of dwellings and other structures. Developers should carefully consider the likelihood of vehicular damage when choosing a PRI location and additional protective measures may be required e.g bollards, barriers, etc. Unrestricted 24-hour 365-day vehicle and pedestrian access is required to all the PRI’s. We have found Energy Assets Pipelines & Networks operate flexibly and closely with their Customers, this has given us full confidence in our Network provider, developing an excellent working relationship which helps ensure that British Gas remains one of the biggest site works providers in the UK.
