More and more residents of Bonifacio Global City are now enjoying
the convenience and the cost benefits provided by piped-in gas. In
the 240-hectare business district, a network of underground pipes
connect residential and commercial buildings to a centralized gas
facility maintained by the Bonifacio Gas Corp.—a joint venture
between Fort Bonifacio Development Corp. and Pilipinas Shell
Petroleum.
A number of condo dwellers appreciate the use of
piped-in gas in response to the rising cost of electricity.
“Because we are highly dependent on air-conditioning, clothes
dryers and other appliances powered by electricity, condo dwellers
like us inherently seek ways to slash our power bills,” according
to a Bonifacio Global City resident.
LPG is the preferred cooking fuel because of the
better values it offers. “At current prices and depending on the
equipment use, LPG would bring about 40-percent savings over
electricity,” said Edwin Laset, general manager of Bonigas.
Moreover, piped-in LPG is safe and efficient.
Piped-in LPG ensures uninterrupted supply as the pipelines are
linked to a centralized gas facility that is operated by Pilipinas
Shell, one of the country’s largest producers of LPG. This
facility conforms to international and local health, safety and
environmental standards.
LPG is delivered through pipes made of
medium-density polyethylene (MPDE), a non-corrosive and
maintenance-free material that can withstand ground movement in the
event of an earthquake. Further, a team of highly trained Bonigas
servicemen is always on hand to assist the customers to install and
inspect their equipment as well as to respond to emergencies.
To date, Bonigas supplies piped-in LPG to
commercial establishments and residential buildings such as Pacific
Plaza Tower, Serendra, Penthurst, Bonifacio Technology Center and
Market! Market! mall. Beyond Bonifacio Global City, the firm also
supplies piped-LPG to Eastwood Commercial Center.
