Development: Give gas to Regi Model Town, CM tells SNGPL
Discussing the feasibility of mitigation solutions, he said that solutions have an insignificant cost increase in pipeline projects.
"However, if mitigation is not considered as a preventive action during the start of the project then the cost of corrosion damage could incurr losses worth millions.
Poor maintenance may also cause pipelines to shut down," he said.
