Case Study: Shrewsbury

Services: New MP Gas Main, Service, Meter and Outlet

Client: Veolia

Location: Shrewsbury

For this project on behalf of Veolia in Shrewsbury, Argon was appointed to deliver new gas infrastructure for a commercial property, including installation of a new MP gas main, service connection, meter, and outlet pipework.

To begin, Argon connected to the existing MDPE MP gas main and installed approximately 140 metres of new MP main, with full CP and AE attendance. All public-side excavation and reinstatement along Vanguard Way were completed by Argon, while excavation on private roads was carried out by others.

Argon then installed 5 metres of new MDPE Medium pressure gas service from the new main to an external GRP kiosk, which Argon supplied and installed.

For metering, Argon supplied, installed, and commissioned a new medium pressure Smart Gas Meter with Chatterbox, configured for 100 mbar outlet pressure and 1291 kW/h load.

Finally, Argon installed approximately 70 metres of low pressure outlet pipework from the meter to the internal termination point, with all excavation and reinstatement undertaken by others. All works were fully tested and prepared for commissioning. This project delivered a complete, compliant, and ready-for-use gas infrastructure solution for the client.
