Pipeline consultation
In response to feedback received during our previous consultation, held in February and March 2022, we undertook further consultation on 24 additional, localised changes we want to make to the proposed CO₂ pipeline, located along the part of the route between Elton to Ysceifiog. We proposed a series of localised changes which mainly adapted the boundaries that the construction work will take place in (known as 'Order Limits') and repositioned Above Ground Installations and Block Valve Stations.
Glossary
Above Ground Installation: Equipment relating to the CO₂ Pipeline which is necessary for its operation and/or maintenance and which is located in a secure compound above ground level. The AGIs typically comprise of inspection and venting equipment, and associated infrastructure (including lighting, parking provisions, and Electrical and Instrumentation Kiosks (E&I Kiosks)).
Block Valve Station: An area containing a Block Valve (which is below ground) and Electrical and Instrumentation (E&I) Kiosk (which is above ground) and includes perimeter security fencing. A Block Valve is an underground valve which can isolate a section of pipeline if needed.
Constructability: A process which improves the ease and efficiency of building a new structure, identifies and eliminates obstacles, and reduces the chance of errors, delays, and cost overruns.
Order Limits: The outer limits within which the CO₂ pipeline will be constructed and operated, including the pipeline corridor and any temporary working areas that would be required to install the pipeline, such as access routes and construction compounds.
