Wales & West Utilities has finished upgrading gas pipes in the Calne Road area of Lyneham.
The work, which started in September, was vital to ensuring gas continues to flow safely and reliably to homes and businesses across the area, and the firm says it will help to keep people warm for decades to come.
The gas emergency and pipeline service worked closely with Wiltshire Council, and traffic management was in place throughout.
Wales & West Utilities Mick Gallavin, who managed the work, said: “We’d like to thank the local community for bearing with us whilst we completed this essential work, and are delighted to have finished the work on time.
“While most of the gas network is underground and out of sight, it plays a central role in the daily lives of people across the area.
"Whether it’s heating your home, making the family dinner, or having a hot bath, we understand how important it is for your gas supply to be safe and reliable and there when you need it.
“This work was essential to keep the gas flowing to local homes and businesses today, and to make sure the gas network is ready to transport green gases in the future.”
Wales & West Utilities is the gas emergency and pipeline service, delivering energy to over 7.5m people across Wales and the south west of England.
It does not sell gas but rather transports it through an extensive underground network of more than 35,000 kilometres of pipes.
Anybody smelling gas or suspecting carbon monoxide should call the National Gas Emergency number on 0800 111 999 immediately.
Trained engineers are available 24/7 to respond and keep the public safe.
