A Gas Pipework Installation to upgrade UWE’s science labs.

Overview

This Gas Pipework Installation at UWE was completed in October 2021. 

The staff and students in the science labs were restricted due to limited Bunsen burner access points. Further access points needed to be installed and the gas main needed to be upgraded and purged. 

The lab was a busy place and constantly in action. It was important that UES could accommodate to UWE’s timetable and ensure there was no disruption to learning.

What was the solution?

A survey was carried out to fully understand the client’s needs to maximise the opportunities of the lab. 

On site our engineer conducted a gas tightness test and let by the valves. After purging, he made alterations and installed a new isolation valve to supply the upgraded pipework. 

A strength and further gas tightness test was conducted, and both passed. The gas was pulled through to all the new Bunsen burner gas taps and they successfully burned for over 10 minutes. 

What was the result?

The installation was complete, and the new and improved labs were ready for the client to use. 

Improved gas pipework and further burner access points had extended the capabilities of the labs. 

The client was particularly pleased that we had accommodated to UWE’s busy timetable and that there was no disruption to learning.
