Piedmont Natural Gas Predicted to Urge Maintenance Resulting in Flame in Spartanburg
SPARTANBURG, S.C.
– Residents of Spartanburg County are being forewarned about the planned maintenance that Piedmont Natural Gas is set to conduct around the vicinity of I-85 and 26. Anticipated to commence from February 22 and last until March 1, the routine infrastructure maintenance, situated near 564 Springfield Road, comes equipped with a device that might generate a flame. However, this is dependent on the prevailing weather conditions.
Use of Flare Stack in Maintenance
Piedmont Natural Gas employs a long vertical tube known as a flare stack in its maintenance operations. As the company stated, this flare stack could trigger a resonant noise and possibly generate a considerably high flame. The incandescence from this flame is expected to be observable from several residential areas and commercial establishments in proximity.
Potential Sensory Effects
Residents might perceive a whistling sound emitting from the maintenance site. The odor of natural gas may also be noticeable during this period. However, these phenomena are routine aspects of such maintenance operations.

The company has also taken the initiative to inform local residents and has urged them not to be alarmed by the sight of the flame or the sounds emanating from the maintenance site.
This maintenance is part of Piedmont Natural Gas’ ongoing commitment to ensure reliable and safe energy services to the region. Regular inspections and maintenance activities are a significant part of any energy company’s risk management measures to ensure public safety and service continuity.

The reach and impact of the maintenance operations from Piedmont Natural Gas are being carefully managed to ensure minimal disruption to the local citizens’ daily lives. The procedures being put in place for the ongoing maintenance indicate the company’s adherence to standard safety protocols and it’s commitment to public and environmental safety.
Collaborative efforts with local authorities and regulated bodies will keep a close watch on the situation until its anticipated conclusion on March 1.
