ATCO is relocating gas infrastructure in several locations in and around Armadale and Byford to support METRONET’s upcoming Byford Rail Extension (BRE) project. For more information on METRONET’s rail redevelopment project, visit metronet.wa.gov.au/projects/byford-extension

Main construction works will occur in Armadale city centre, along Aragon Court and Forrest Road, and in Byford city centre along George St. ATCO may undertake minor works at other sites between Armadale and Byford from July 2023 onwards.

Based on our current construction schedule, ATCO’s construction works will begin in Armadale in August 2023 and may continue through to October 2023. Construction is planned to commence in Byford from October 2023 through to early 2024.

If you live, work or attend venues near the construction areas, you may encounter traffic delays and some noise. More detail will be provided to those impacted as work becomes imminent.

Yes – however this will be minor.

Traffic management will be in place on all construction sites to ensure the safety of our crews and local traffic. Traffic delays and some noise are expected while works are underway. ATCO will endeavour to keep the community updated on any significant road closures or traffic management impacts. You may also contact us at any time to enquire about our current or planned works using the details located at the bottom of this page.

Please follow all directions from ground crews and traffic management when navigating near or around a work site.

There may be some temporary lane closures, detours or road closures while work is taking place to ensure the safety of workers, residents and road users. In these cases, notice will be given beforehand and traffic management will be put in place. Please follow any detours that are in place.

Construction noise during works is expected, but we will do everything we can to reduce the noise of the works during business hours: most likely between 7am and 7pm Monday to Friday.

Noise management plans will comply with council guidelines.

Our process involves using a combination of open trenches and trenchless technology to install gas mains.

The trenchless method greatly reduces the time needed to complete works as well as reducing the impact to road users and businesses in the area. Traffic controllers will be onsite to ensure local traffic can move safely around the area.

No, there are no planned interruptions to gas supply as a result of these works.

Should you be an affected resident, you will be contacted directly about the impacts to your property.

Building a pipeline involves digging open the ground to access pipes, valves and pits. This may impact roads, verges, driveways and footpaths.

We are committed to returning areas affected by our work to as close to their original condition as reasonably feasible. We will work closely with local councils and affected property owners to try to meet restoration expectations wherever possible.
