High Pressure Gas Pipelines: Construction methods and infrastructure

High pressure gas pipelines require extensive clearing and digging of deep trenches to enable pipelines to be buried. They also involve associated above ground infrastructure.

Pipeline owners will require 24-hour access to a pipeline area and any use of that land by landholders will be constrained in the future. Read, download and print our detailed fact sheet below for a detailed explanation of construction methods and infrastructure.

Risks and impacts from high pressure gas pipelines

June 11, 2022

High pressure gas pipelines require extensive clearing and digging of deep trenches (1-2m) to enable pipelines to be buried.  Pipelines are particularly damaging where soils are highly erodible or acidic, where they cross rivers and creeks, and where they affect important farmland or wildlife...

Carbon Capture (Use) & Storage

March 09, 2022

Huge amounts of CO2 are produced when fossil fuels are extracted, processed and burnt, and by various industrial processes like steel, cement and fertiliser manufacturing. CCS, or ‘carbon capture & storage’ aims to stop this CO2 entering the atmosphere. But does it work?Download the...
