The problem: A gas leak was discovered coming from an existing underground gas installation at Forkers.
Forkers required a new gas installation both above and underground in order to eliminate leaks of the existing pipework.
Our solution: Firstly, a gas tightness test was done to establish the severity of the gas leak.
Because the leak test had failed safety standards, it was decided a new gas supply was to be installed.
An indirect gas purge was undertaken so that the existing installation could be decommissioned.
Using but fusion technology, Ormond installed 100M of 108mm MDPE pipework. Our engineers fitted the MDPE and transitioned to 4”steel above ground level.
Once the installation was complete, our gas safe engineers did a tightness test and direct purge.
Finally, a Gas Safe certificate was issued to ensure the commercial gas installation was up to standards.
Tasks involved:
Underground MDPE
Steel pipework fabrication
Gas purging services
Gas tightness test
Gas Pipework Decommissioning
Gas pipework commissioning
Industrial Gas Safe certificate
