CDA Approves Rs96m For Gas Supply To Park Enclave

Islamabad: The administration of the Capital Development Authority (CDA) has approved Rs96 million for the installation and provision of gas network to Park Enclave-I.

The payment is likely to be made to SNGPL in a couple of days and after that SNGPL will start work on the provision of Sui-gas in the Park Enclave -I. Under this project, SNGPL will establish an external gas conduction network as well as door to door internal gas conduction network. For this purpose, SNGPL will lay 800 meters long gas pipeline of ten inches diameter and 700 meters long gas pipeline of eight inches diameter for the external conduction network. 18,900 meters long gas pipe of diameter six inches, 2530 long gas pipe of diameter four inches, 9,270-meter long gas pipe of diameter two inches and 5,600-meter long gas pipe of diameter 1-1/4 inches will be laid for the door to door and internal conduction of gas within the project. It is pertinent to mention here that initially on SNGPL issued a demand notice amounting to Rs243.397 million for the provision of sui gas in Park Enclave-I, however, authority objected the higher cost of demand notice and requested M/s SNGPL to curtail the mainline length and share the cost with PHA for mainline and to issue revised cost notice to CDA.

In this context, a series of meetings were held, and eventually in response to the efforts of the CDA management M/s SNGPL issued a reduced and revised cost demand notice for the external and internal gas network for Park Enclave-I.
