Customer Type: Metered Supply to Holiday Homes.
Location: Preston
Project: Instal LPG supply for 8 holiday homes.

This is the second phase in the redevelopment of a redundant quarry. The holiday homes are stone built and finished to a luxurious standard. We laid a 32mm polyethylene ring main with 25mm service spurs to semi-submerged meter boxes. LPG supply is from 2 x 2000 litre LPG vessels.

A  phased development of a further 23 holiday homes has been commenced in July 2008.

 Customer Type: Fire Brigade Hot Fire Training.
 Location: Gloucestershire
 Project: Instal 4000 litre LPG vessel with both liquid and vapour offtake to provide fuel for simulated fire  emergency scenarios

Customer Type: Metered Supply
Location: Crewe
Project: LPG supply to eight office buildings and a dwelling.

The offices are conversions of redundant farmbuildings set around a quadrangle, with the original farmhouse offset to one side. We laid 63mm/32mm polyethylene main underground supply pipes with 25mm service spurs to semi-submerged meter boxes.
LPG supply is from 3 x 2000litre vessels.

Customer Type: Vehicle Refuelling
Location: West Yorkshire
Project: Installation and commissioning of 2000 litre "Autogas" refuelling tank.

This refuelling installation is part of a trial development, whereby diesel fuel is supplemented with an accurate proportion of LPG to achieve improved power and economy, according to the equipment suppliers.

Customer type: Poultry farm
Location: North Yorkshire.
Project: Upgrade of underground service pipework on two farms

The existing underground pipework on both sites from the LPG storage vessels to point of entry at six sheds was 15+ years old, of galvanised metal pipe. The client was concerned that, given the age of the pipe, there might be future issues with soundness.

We installed new 32mm/25mm MDPE polyethylene pipework, using Fusion welded joints. We also took the opportunity to renew all second stage regulators.

During excavation of new trenches, it became evident that the old metal pipe had not been wrapped with any protective coating (Denso) and there was evidence of severe corrosion that could have affected the integrity of the pipework in the near future.
The new systems are now complete.

Customer type: Domestic development
Location: Lake District
Project: Installation of LPG supply to five dwellings.

Situated in the Lake District National Park, this site required the use of centralised underground LPG storage vessels, and semi-submerged domestic meter boxes.

Customer type: Poultry farm
Location: North Yorkshire
Project: Soundness testing.

The client has several sites with current LPG installations. Aware of their obligations under the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000, we were contracted to undertake soundness testing. All systems were tested, and soundness certificates issued.

Customer Type: Domestic development
Location: Northumberland
Project: Installation of centralised underground LPG storage and supply pipework to 15 domestic dwellings.

Customer type: Poultry farm
Location: Cumbria
Project: replace poultry brooders with blown air space heaters.

As an aid to safety, the old internal gas line was capped off, and a new external main supply installed. The heaters were then connected via individual branch supplies, thus keeping internal pipe runs to a minimum.
