PG&E’s gas safety programs

Ensuring safe access to the pipeline for first responders in an emergency or natural disaster.

PG&E uses cutting-edge technology to inspect its nearly 7,000 miles of gas transmission and 42,000 miles of gas distribution pipelines.

Valve automation improves PG&E's ability to quickly shut off the flow of gas in the event of a significant change in pressure.

PG&E has replaced 2,270 miles of its cast iron and steel gas distribution pipe, leading to fewer leaks—good for safety and the environment.

PG&E regularly surveys its 70,000-square mile service area by foot, vehicle, air and even by boat.

Building on its efforts to enhance pipeline safety, PG&E has been an industry leader in supporting new technology.

PG&E's preferred method of inspecting our natural gas pipelines helps us identify issues quickly and efficiently to keep our customers safe.
