A leaking 4-inch HDPE gas line under the main access road between an office building and parking garage at The Towers at Williams Square in Irving, Texas, posed a big problem for a restaurant operating in the building. With no gas, the restaurant had to hire caterers to provide food, so the staff was anxious to have repairs finished quickly.Atmos Energy shut off the gas on a Thursday afternoon and the building engineer called plumbing contractor Robert Barones, owner of ARJ Plumbing Services in Fort Worth. Open-cutting would have taken too long, but Barones lacked the equipment for pipe bursting.
