A prominent brewery, found itself in need of a new natural gas supply to support its Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system and production facilities. Tasked with the responsibility of executing this crucial project, the company installing the CHP system and managing the project on behalf of the brewery, enlisted the expertise of National Gas Metering.

The scope of the project was substantial, requiring meticulous planning and execution. National Gas Metering embarked on installing a new gas main spanning 875 meters of 180mm MDPE pipe at medium pressure, alongside a new service line comprising 11 meters of 125mm PE pipe. Additionally, the team was tasked with installing a 16M twin-stream rotary meter complete with a kiosk and base. Completing the network, outlet pipework of 144 meters of 180mm pipework was installed to ensure efficient distribution of gas within the brewery's premises.

One of the most remarkable aspects of this project was the team's adeptness at minimising disruptions, particularly with respect to traffic flow. By collaborating closely with local authorities and adhering to stringent safety protocols, National Gas Metering managed to carry out the works without necessitating a road closure. This feat not only underscored the team's commitment to operational efficiency but also alleviated potential inconvenience for the surrounding community.

Moreover, the project presented a unique challenge in the form of a 100-meter section that needed to be traversed beneath a culvert. Utilising innovative directional drilling techniques (HDD), the team successfully navigated this obstacle, ensuring the seamless continuity of the gas infrastructure without compromising environmental integrity.
The continued works at the brewery is a testament to the professionalism, expertise, and collaborative spirit embodied by National Gas Metering's Gas Connections and Infrastructure Team. By delivering a robust and reliable gas supply solution, the team has not only facilitated the brewery’s operational needs but has also contributed to the sustainable growth of the local economy.
