Both tools are designed to provide high-resolution insights into the pipeline’s condition and surrounding environment. PGB managing director and chief executive officer Abdul Aziz Othman said the company has inspected over 90 per cent of its entire network with the tools, but found no other location indicating similar subsoil risk as Putra Heights.
“Our pipeline integrity management programme has ensured that the PGU has operated safely without any major incidents since day one,” Abdul Aziz told Malay Mail through an email response recently. Abdul Aziz said the new bypass line is structurally separated from the incident site, or “ground zero”, where soil stabilisation is ongoing.
The layout reportedly will also include new shut-off valves to allow shorter isolation distances during emergencies.
