Kirkgate House, Leith, Edinburgh
Project
Upgrade the gas service pipe network to a high rise social housing block to ensure continuous and reliable gas supplies.
Problem
Replace the corroded steel gas service pipe network on the north and south side of an 18 storey, high rise social housing block to ensure continuous and reliable gas supplies.
Solution
Install a new polyethylene network of risers & laterals to ensure at least a 50 year lifespan.
The installation and commissioning of each riser took less than a week utilising a cherry picker which made upgrading significantly quicker than the traditional method of scaffolding and offers additional Health & Safety benefits for installers.
