Sui Southern Gas Company is rehabilitating its ageing gas distribution infrastructure across Karachi. This is a crucial step towards improving the reliability and efficiency of gas supply to its domestic consumers.
Currently, the Company is rehabilitating a 2,500 km-long distribution network. Major rehabilitation work is underway quickly in the thickly populated areas of North Nazimabad and North Karachi and other parts of Karachi city, including Lyari. Pipeline rehabilitation in these areas aimed to replace old distribution pipelines, address leakage issues and resolve low-pressure problems while enhancing gas availability for the general public, particularly during peak cooking hours.
It is noteworthy that before commencing rehabilitation work, SSGC obtains all requisite permissions and approvals from concerned civic authorities. It is pertinent to mention here that the Company pays a predetermined amount of money to the concerned authorities under road restoration charges for the reconstruction of roads affected during the pipeline laying job to minimize the inconvenience of the residents. The Company continues this practice during the rehabilitation work in North Nazimabad and New Karachi. Thus, it is the responsibility of the respective civic authority to restore the roads and footpaths for which SSGC has already paid a substantial amount to the civic authorities as per provisions given in the character of these authorities.
As per past practice, the Company is utilizing all its resources to implement rehabilitation projects expeditiously in North Nazimabad and North Karachi and trying minimal disruption to the residents. However, during operations, SSGC teams are also simultaneously repairing all damaged lines of other utilities and removing remaining construction debris. To reiterate, the focus of our teams on the ground is to mitigate the citizens’ problems rather than compounding them. The Company’s in-house Projects and Construction (P&C) engineers are available at their respective sites to attend to any related customer query.
