The engineers have been searching for a gas leak for 7 days now.
There seems to be someone on duty 24/7

At least 2 vans, a digger, generator, lights, other stuff. Occasionally management appears and there is a lot of looking and walking up and down. Then tablets are consulted and more probes are driven into the ground.

Their target zone is about 250 m long.
It is marked with amazing hieroglyphs and many investigative probe holes.

They've dug several, many, a lot of 2x2 sized holes and seem to go away for 12 hours
Soon they will have dug up the entire stretch of road.

We had similar a few years ago as we entered our house through the front door strong smell of gas .

Called the gas board who said they couldn't find anything, so we shut the front door and stayed outside for 20 minutes with the engineer and soon as he opened the door he said yes he could smell it and got his sniffing tool out and walked all around the house trying to locate it.

Eventually he said it might be coming from next door ( semi detached) which was empty so he walked around poked his sniffing tool through the letter box and off it went.

It was traced to a leak on the pipe just as it went underneath the house so driveway dug up pipe replaced and hey presto sorted.

It's nippy outside ❄️

Certainly is with a ground frost and lots of condensation but nice blue sky and sunshine.

Pre work walk has been travelled.
