Gas pipeline companies may be required to conduct annual class-location studies to determine the density of residential buildings within several hundred feet of their underground natural gas lines. The Department of Transportation uses the density figures to set pipeline pressure levels for purposes of public safety. As residential building density increases, line pressure must be reduced or, in some cases, the line itself strengthened or removed.

CECO Pipeline Services uses the latest equipment in electronic range finders and uses GPS readings to locate your pipeline and prepare the readings you need for your states compliance.

Please contact a CECO representative for more information on Class Location Studies performed in your area.
