UGI will be completing projects across campus this summer. Work is tentatively scheduled to begin on May 20 with installation and site restoration estimated to be completed by August 10. Bookmark this page to check in for updates.
Project Overview
Mountaintop (map below) - UGI will be installing a new gas service line for the entire Mountaintop district, with work starting at the Central Plant Building and ending at Imbt Lab. There may be short term gas outages (at Iacocca Hall and Imbt Lab) which will be shared ahead of time to minimize any disruption to summer activities. Most of the new gas piping will be installed at or near roadways. UGI crews will allow one lane for travel on ATLSS Drive but may periodically close sections of Research Drive. UGI will likely have two crews in this area of campus.
Historic Core-Southside Gateway (Asa Packer) - UGI will have multiple crews in this area of campus this summer replacing sections of gas lines at approximately 20 different locations (see maps below).There may be short term gas outages which will be shared prior to minimize any disruption to campus activities. Most of the new pipe installed at or near roadways will impact traffic. Work crews will allow for one lane for travel as much as possible, but closures may occur.
May 20th: First Area of Work
The project will begin at Centennial I. UGI’s team will mobilize there on May 20 and begin digging on May 21 with the expectation that they will work there for four days and then move on to Drinker Hall. University Drive may be periodically closed during this work, but vehicles can reach Rathbone Hall via Thomas Street if needed.
