Willeys Avenue, Exeter - plenty of gas for Xmas dinner
No shortage of gas on Christmas Day 2011. The two large spiral-guided gas holders have now been demolished but back then they were still very much in use. I wasn't aware of this view until I realised I had taken it and had to try to work out where I had been standing.
One of my friends who spent his career in research for British Gas has added the following comments regarding the death of the UK gas holder fleet: -
"The UK's gasholders were 'well past their sell-by date' (youngest was 53 by 2011, fleet average age c. 90!) and it's amazing they lasted that long (last decommissioned 2013 just 2 years post-photo) - a tribute to solid Victorian 'fit-for-purpose', 'over-designed' engineering. The fleet of all that replacement 'hi-tech' replacement above-ground gas storage kit (est'd cost c. £850M!) that I organised all that R&D on 1996-2000 never materialised in the end - instead they (the Gas Distribution Co's -'GDNs') 'put extra transmission pipe volume in the ground' upstream at the 7-30 bar pressure level and 'work it hard' for pressure-swing linepack instead. Plus the new LNG tank storage at the Isle of Grain + 2 Milford Haven import terminals helped a bit. Cleverly 'saved a fortune' doing it those ways.
