South Wales Gas Pipeline, Gas pipeline from Milford Haven to Tirley, United Kingdom.

The South Wales Gas Pipeline extends 197 miles across Wales and England, connecting LNG terminals at Milford Haven to the national network at Tirley, Gloucestershire.

Construction of the pipeline began in 2004 and concluded in November 2007, marking Britain's transition from energy exporter to importer due to North Sea field depletion.

The pipeline construction led to archaeological discoveries, including sections of an ancient Roman road and Bronze Age cremation locations in the Welsh countryside.

Operating at 94 bar pressure with a diameter of 1220 millimeters, this infrastructure supplies approximately 20 percent of the United Kingdom's gas requirements.

The pipeline crosses through 16 miles of Brecon Beacons National Park, requiring specific environmental restoration measures following its installation.
