Project Outcomes

• First ‘self-lay’ connection to National Grid NTS network by a third party.
• National Grid Transmission completed a conceptual design study (CDS) at the NTS block valve site.
• CSL made the case to National Grid that an ROV was not required, hence neither was an RTU on the block valve site, saving £200k.
• The design of an off-take connection and private pipeline connecting to the 84 bar NTS network.
• Construction was completed in September 2019. The boundary between the National Grid owned connection and private pipeline will be delineated by an insulation joint.
• This will significantly reduce compression costs relative to typical CNG stations.
