Authorities have identified the location of an excavator believed to be buried at the site of the gas pipeline explosion along Jalan Putra Harmoni in Putra Heights on April 1.
Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan, speaking to reporters during a site inspection on Wednesday (April 30), said the machine was found near the main pipeline that exploded — considered the epicentre or ‘ground zero’ of the incident.
He said current efforts remain focused on investigating the cause of the explosion, particularly issues related to the gas pipeline, adding that excavation work to recover the excavator will begin once that investigation is complete.

00:00We have access to the work and the mission to be safe.
00:05Dato, the system excavators don't have a default?
00:09Okay, the system excavators, we already know the location.
00:16The location is outside the core area.
00:21The core area in the middle.
00:23So, if we core area now,
00:25it will cause our work in the middle.
00:29It can't be done in several places.
00:32So, it's done with the analysis of the core area in the middle.
00:39After that, it's done with the core area.
00:42Then, it's done with the core area.
00:45So, it will be done later.
00:47So, it will be done to ensure that there is an excavation.
00:54Dato, how was the excavator located?
00:56What special equipment used to scan the ground and all that?
01:00There's a ground penetrating radar.
01:02One.
01:03The other thing, bila diorang buat,
01:05diorang tanam sheet pile tu.
01:08Okay.
01:09We will know.
01:10So, it got few methods to detect.
01:13Roughly,
01:14Dari statement owner tu,
01:15yang dia kata parking kat mana.
01:17Dari statement dia,
01:18daripada beberapa kerja yang kita buat dekat ground zero tu.
01:22We estimate,
01:23kedudukan dia lah.
01:24Cuma sekarang,
01:25kita boleh corek lagi.
01:26Selesai corek yang tengah tu,
01:28baru boleh corek in tempat tu.
01:30So, benda tu,
01:32we made sikit lah.
01:33That's why we cannot do spontaneously,
01:35the third work lah.
01:37Sebab dia melibatkan keselamatan.
01:39Tugas di situ.
01:41Tugas di situ.
