Gas line ruptured at Finleyville Airport south of Pittsburgh
From an Article by Scott Beveredge, Washington PA Observer-Reporter, June 30, 2017
FINLEYVILLE – A landslide ruptured a natural gas pipeline Thursday night at Finleyville Airport, a utility that serves customers as far away as Burgettstown and Beaver County.
Peoples Gas was able to detour natural gas from other service areas to continue serving most of its customers in the region until repairs were completed and the 12-inch line was re-pressurized about 7 a.m. Friday, company spokesman Barry Kukovich said.
“They got in there and could hear the ground moving in the darkness,” Kukovich said. “A large section of earth slid laterally. It’s a major gas line.”
Service was temporarily disrupted to about 40 houses in the Stonebridge Drive area off Route 88, close to the airport on Airport Road in Union Township, he said.
A Union Electric Steel operation in the region also was asked to curtail its natural gas draw while the repairs were being made, Kukovich said. There were no reports of disruption of traffic to and from the privately owned airport. It was not immediately known what caused the landslide.
The rupture was reported at 10:30 p.m. Thursday. Township Supervisor Larry Spahr said the rupture happened at the end of the airport runway.
