The National Infrastructure Development Company Limited (NIDCO) is advising the public that on Sunday (26th November 2023), at approximately 4:30 PM, a pocket of unexpected gas was detected at ninety-five (95) feet underground on the work-site of the ANR Robinson International Airport.
In a Media Release on Wednesday (29th November 2023), NIDCO said the discovery was made during a routine pipe installation exercise by the contractor as part of the planned works on the Airport project. NIDCO said, following the incident, “all relevant authorities were notified, and preliminary testing undertaken with the support of National Gas Company (NGC) to determine the type and origin of the gas. All site activities were suspended, the area cordoned off and the Fire Service remained on standby for the remainder of the day. Around 6:00 PM on the same evening, the gas pressure had significantly dissipated.” Further tests were conducted on Monday (27th November 2023) by an independent consultant, confirming that the gas was methane — a common biogas occurring in shallow swampy areas. NIDCO said, although the gas has now fully dissipated, “monitoring for its presence at the source will continue, in the interest of public safety.” We are a small operation.
