Natural Gas System Rebuild

• Instead of using a single-main configuration, ENO will install two mains, one on each side of city streets. This configuration virtually eliminates the need to conduct street work, minimizing any disruption of traffic.

• Only small sections of sidewalks will be impacted. Cuts into the sidewalks will measure approximately 4 feet by 4 feet or 4 feet by 6 feet. The smaller cuts basically measure the size of a single sidewalk panel.

• Entergy New Orleans is using a drilling technology called directional boring that eliminates trenching, the traditional and extremely disruptive method for installing pipe.

• The combination of innovative drilling technology and modern distribution piping will cause less disruption in the construction phase and provide better reliability once completed.

• It will virtually eliminate the need to tear up streets by impacting only small sections of sidewalks. This minimizes potential conflicts with future street repaving, water or sewer projects.
