Utility Commission plans expansions for Riverton and Eagle Mountain gas gate stations

The Technical Conference held in Utah on April 11, 2025, focused on critical infrastructure developments and future planning for the region's gas distribution system. Key discussions revolved around the potential relocation and remodeling of SL 114, with officials exploring various property options to ensure the project meets future demands.

A significant point raised was the need to upsize non-feeder line tracker pipes to support future IOI runs, with plans set for implementation in 2028. The conference also highlighted the necessity for expansion at several gate stations, particularly targeting Central Gate in the Southern system for expansion in 2029. Riverton Gate is nearing capacity and will require future upgrades, while E G 1 in Downtown Eagle Mountain is also expected to expand as industrial development in the area continues.

Participants discussed the geographical context of Central Gate, clarifying its location north of Vale and near the Snow Canyon area, which was a point of confusion among attendees.

Additionally, the conference addressed ongoing efforts to replace aging infrastructure, emphasizing the importance of maintaining safety and efficiency in the gas distribution network. A report on feeder line replacements and the Beltman replacement program is scheduled for presentation in June, which will provide further insights into these initiatives.

Overall, the meeting underscored the proactive steps being taken to enhance the region's gas infrastructure, ensuring it can accommodate future growth and demand.
