Chimney things in the ditches..

    Hi Folks,

    A quick question of curiosity... I have seen what look like little white chimney stacks popping up from the ditches in a few locations around the South East on my travels. They are probably about eight feet high, five inches in diameter with a little pointy cap on top and the ones I have seen are in farmers fields bordering the roadside...?

    I drive past them on my way to work every day.

    I figured they're just to indicate where the gas main passes under the road.

    They have a label on them but I've never actually stopped to read them

    These are replacements for the old high viz. locators on the high pressure gas lines used for helicoptor surveys.
