Safe gas supply: Cun checks lines in the Südheide

Safe gas supply: Cun checks lines in the Südheide

in the municipality of Südheide, exclusively in the towns of Hermannsburg, Unterlüß and Baven, numerous reviews of the gas pipes will soon take place. Celle-Uelzen Netz GmbH (CUN), the regional network operator, has announced important security work that should begin on Monday, September 9, 2024. The aim of these measures is to uncover potential leaks in the underground gas network and to ensure the safety of the gas supply.

The CUN will thoroughly inspect more than 80 kilometers of main lines and about 55 kilometers of house connection lines by mid -October. It is particularly important that the work is carried out in good time and thoroughly in order to maintain the functionality of the gas network. The controls are required by law and take place at regular intervals to activate early warning systems against possible dangers.

Details for carrying out the exams

The CUN has commissioned the DRäger & Howarde company to carry out these exams. The employees of this company are well trained and equipped with portable natural gass trackers that are able to quickly recognize even the smallest gas leaks on the surface. In these inspections, the examiners have to go every meter of the gas pipes, which also means that they sometimes have to enter private properties to check the house connection lines. The examiners will identify themselves at any time on request.

The work is heavily dependent on the weather, so that the duration and the exact course of the exams can vary within the planned time frame. The CUN asks the residents for understanding possible impairments during these security measures, which ultimately benefit the company, but also all customers of the region. These regular checks impressively impress the safety of the gas supply, even if a certain effort has to be accepted.

at a time when the energy supply is of the utmost importance, the network operators are responsible for carrying out such thorough inspections in order to ensure both the integrity of the supply network and the well -being of consumers. CUN's security announcements are therefore a central component of ecological and economical responsible energy supply.

Laborine and secure the supply infrastructure on so many kilometers is no risk. The constant control of the gas lines is a step that is not only required by law, but also ensures the general feeling of security of the citizens. The importance of this initiative cannot be assessed highly enough, because it helps to maintain confidence in the gas supply and to identify and eliminate potential dangers at an early stage.

The municipality of Südheide can therefore look forward to these thorough controls, which not only ensure a safe gas supply, but can also serve as a model for other regions. The CUN shows a great sense of responsibility and strives to ensure the highest security standards in care.
