Petronas upholds high maintenance standards, pipelines built to last 50 years.
Maintenance of Petronas’ gas pipeline network nationwide adheres to high standards, with pipelines having a lifespan of over 50 years, according to Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir. Who worked as a project engineer for Petronas Gas Berhad (PGB) construction of gas pipelines, including in Putra Heights, Subang Jaya, between 1988 - 1990, said throughout his more than 30-year career, Petronas never took integrity safety lightly.

A total of 219 homes were confirmed to have suffered damage following the recent gas pipeline explosion and fire in Putra Heights, while another 220 houses in the area have been declared safe and unaffected. Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan said the figures were based on the final physical assessment conducted by the Selangor Fire & Rescue Dept, utility companies & local authorities.
