West Hills Area Natural Gas Project

September 1, 2017 West Hills Area Natural Gas Main Replacement Project Update – KUB Underground Construction crews have installed approximately 1,300 feet of natural gas main on Bennington Drive.

Crews will not work on Monday, September 4, in observance of Labor Day.

Boring crews will continue work on Sheffield Drive and Corteland Drive next week after the holiday. Additionally, crews will be digging to locate existing utilities (potholing) next week on Sheffield Drive, south of Bennington Drive.

Tie-up crews will begin connecting sections of main on Bennington Drive the second week September.

As a reminder, this project is scheduled to be completed in four zones over the next 18-24 months. Please see the Project Information Sheet & Map in the column to the right for more details related to this project.

This work may require temporary lane closures in the immediate work zone. Motorists and residents are also reminded to watch for the presence of workers, equipment, and vehicles in the area.

KUB will post weekly updates on this blog for the duration of the project.

Bennington Drive - KUB Underground Construction crew members weld caps on exposed 2-inch plastic natural gas pipe to keep out moisture and debris until tie-up crews can return in the coming weeks to connect and bury sections of pipe.
