Petronas Gas reaffirms commitment to safety after release of probe findings

Petronas Gas Bhd said since the April 1 pipeline explosion in Putra Heights, the firm had worked to ensure public safety, support the impacted community, and maintain gas supply continuity in the country. (Facebook pic) PETALING JAYA : Petronas Gas Bhd has reaffirmed its commitment to ensure the safety of the nation's gas transmission system following the findings released by the relevant authorities over the April 1 Putra Heights pipeline explosion and blaze. In a statement, Petronas Gas reiterated its commitment to full transparency, continuous improvement and collaboration with the special task force and relevant authorities, as well as support for those affected by the incident. 'This incident is unprecedented in the history of our gas transmission system, and we fully recognise the public concerns surrounding the safety of the pipeline system, especially with the continuity of gas flow through the network,' it said. It added that since the incident, the firm had worked to ensure public safety, support the impacted community, and maintain gas supply continuity across the country. Petronas Gas also said the Peninsular Gas Utilisation (PGU) system was designed with multiple layers of safety and resilience, underpinned by over three decades of engineering and operational experience. Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan said yesterday investigations found no evidence of foul play, sabotage, or negligence in the April 1 blast. However, a special task force will be formed to determine responsibility and subsequent actions. The department of occupational safety and health (DOSH), which led the technical investigation into the incident, had said certain segments of the pipeline gave way because of cyclic loading and insufficient support from the ground underneath. DOSH petroleum safety division director Husdin Che Amat said this was mainly caused by unstable ground conditions, leading to the physical failures at parts of the pipe, which then led to a gas leak and the blaze. He also said that Petronas had identified other parts of its gas pipeline network that might be affected by the same issue, and that the agency had discussed with the firm the short- and long-term actions and measures that needed to be taken. The blaze on April 1 saw flames soaring over 30m high with temperatures reaching up to 1,000 degree Celsius. There were no fatalities, but 150 victims had to seek treatment at hospitals.
