End of operational life of the pipeline

The pipeline, AGIs and Pump Facility are anticipated to remain operational for 25 years.

When the pipeline reaches the end of its design life, it would be decommissioned safely.

Once safely decommissioned, it is anticipated that the pipeline would be left in situ to avoid further disturbance to the soil, land use and environmentally sensitive areas, and then permanently removed from service.

The AGIs and Pump Facility would be safely dismantled. It is anticipated that the same type of equipment, machinery and traffic routes would be used for the dismantling works as would be used for construction. Following the dismantling works, all equipment would be removed and the land returned to its former use.
