Egoli Gas believes it is unlikely that the explosion in Bree Street, Johannesburg was caused by a gas pipeline or leak. Our network has experienced no pressure loss which indicates the gas pipelines are intact. Our customers in the area continue to receive gas uninterrupted.

Our gas pipelines operate at extremely low pressure providing safe gas supply in highly built up areas and are therefore unlikely to cause an explosion or explode.

Initial reports have shown the collapse in the road to be mainly in the center. Our gas pipelines are located in the road servitudes on the sides of roads.

Our teams are on site investigating for any gas leaks, they have found none so far. We reiterate that our gas pipelines are on the SIDE of the road in road servitudes which are intact in the CBD including Bree Street. We urge the public not to make assumptions at this time. We are cooperating with all emergency services and other services on site.

No Gas Expected: between 09:00 – 16:00 on Thursday 20 July 2023 Mowbray Road and Barry Hertzog Avenue Greenside. For any NO GAS, LOW PRESSURE or emergency after 16:00 to kindly contact 011 726 4702 or gasemergency@egoligas.co.za
