NATIONAL GAS SERVICES
Emergency response
National Gas Services operates a 24-hour, 365-day-a-year, emergency response service for pipeline operators. The service is known as CEME (centralised emergency materials and equipment).
Based in our strategically located depots around mainland Britain, our engineers provide a rapid response to gas pipeline emergencies. We offer reliable and trusted emergency services to a range of pipeline operators, including gas transmission and distribution network owners and power stations, as well as oil and multi-fuel pipeline owners. Our customers pay an annual subscription for the CEME service.
