Infrastructure Modernization

Safe Systems Benefits Customers and the Environment

Our system improvement efforts across our utilities focus on enhancing the safety, reliability and resiliency of our natural gas systems.

Modernizing our Systems

When our systems are safe, reliable and resilient there is significant benefit to our customers and the environment. Our modernized system results in fewer leaks, and our diligent leak tracking and response program ensures timely repairs. With less natural gas escaping our system, we are also making an impact on greenhouse gas emissions.

To ensure the integrity of our system, we regularly inspect our pipelines throughout the areas we serve. SJI’s utilities inspect their transmission pipelines using External Corrosion Direct Assessment (ECDA) and Inline Inspection (ILI) technologies. The vast majority of our transmission pipelines are inspected using Inline Inspection, where a device is inserted into and travels through the pipeline. The information gathered is then used to assess the pipeline and determine the need for repairs. To learn more, please view our 2022 ESG report.
