3.5.1 Connection without Pre Laid Service (PLS)
Where there is no PLS or PLSS, the line of service between the gas meter box and the gas
connection point in the roadway is to be considered, ensuring the route is unhindered and free
from hazards and obstructions. For additional details refer to Section4.4.
3.5.2 Connection to Pre Laid Services (PLS and PLSS)
In the majority of new subdivisions a PLS or PLSS is installed in a common trench to the
boundary line of a property when the subdivision is developed.
The line of service between the gas meter box and the PLS is to be considered, ensuring the
route is unhindered and free from hazards and obstructions. For additional details refer to
Section 4.4.
Figure 3 shows an example plan from AGA’s Gas Network Information System (GNIS),
(available through Dial Before you Dig (DBYD)). It is an example of a new subdivision where
gas mains have been installed in road reserves, including rear
and elevated lots. The PLS notation indicates the side of the lot where the service has been
installed with one PLS normally supplying two lots. The gas meter position must allow direct
(straight) access to the PLS ensuring no part of the gas service is covered by a future building
structure, (e.g., a carport or garage).
