Torch activities on 22/08/2025 in Rotter Weg in Vilkerath

The transmission system operator Thyssengas is carrying out pipeline construction work on a natural gas pipeline in Overath-Vilkerath. In connection with this work, it will be necessary to depressurise and degas the pipeline in the short term. As Thyssengas has set itself the goal of reducing the methane emissions associated with such measures as far as technically possible, a large proportion of the gas volume in the pipeline has already been removed via downstream networks.

On Friday, 22 August 2025, the remaining crowd will be evacuated using a mobile flare system. This may result in increased noise emissions and a visible flame on this day. The location of the flare system is on a station site in the street "Rotter Weg" in Vilkerath. The road will be closed until the work has been completed.
