About this project
The Proposed Gas Pipeline will be a continuously welded buried steel pipeline of approximately 18 km in length from an offtake approximately 1.5 km west of Camblesforth to the Thorpe Marsh CCGT Power Station site. It will include the following elements:· A Minimum Off-take Connection (MOC) to the National Transmission System (NTS) – to be constructed and operated by the National Grid;
· Offtake Above Ground Installation (AGI), adjacent to the National Grid offtake, which will contain pipeline control valves and Pipeline Internal Gauging (PIG) ‘pigging’ facilities;
· A cross-country pipeline between the offtake AGI and the proposed CCGT Power Station; and
· A Gas Reception Facility (GRF) at the power station within the power station site which will contain pipeline control valves and pipeline pigging facilities. N.B. the GRF has existing planning consent under the Electricity Act 1989 Section 36 as it is within the power station "Red Line" development area.
