Some of the damage on Bree street in the Johannesburg CBD, after a underground explosion caused major damage, 20 July 2023. Picture Neil McCartneyexperienced an explosion which led to road infrastructure damage in parts of the city centre, officials are still scrambling for answers.In this case, it is important to understand which gases are transported underground within the vicinity of the affected area.It is also important to understand the danger which is posed by these gases.
It is my contention that it is less likely the explosion – which occurred in Lilian Ngoyi Street, formally known as Bree Street – could have been caused by any of the gas that could be carried in the pipes which are located underground in the area.First, for a gas to ignite, its concentration in the air plays a critical role. If a gas is at a concentration below 5%, one does not expect an explosion to occur as a result of a gas leak.
However, one would expect physical damage on the leaking gas pipeline and an immediate gas supply cut to the end user.Joburg CBD explosion: Underground secrets unveiled
