Our Contract Services team recently worked alongside Cadent at Penton Court in Staines-upon-Thames, to carry out a Live Service Transfer.

The job began with the installation of Under Pressure Tees (UPTs), allowing the team to connect to the existing gas main while it remained live. This enabled the subsequent Live Service Transfer to be carried out without interrupting the customer's gas supply.

The key benefit? Customers can continue using their gas supply throughout the work, without interruption.

Live Service Transfer enables existing gas services to be partially re-laid or transferred onto a new main while maintaining a continuous supply. This means essential services can be renewed without the inconvenience of customers losing their gas.

It's particularly valuable for multi-occupancy properties and businesses such as shops, restaurants and hotels, where an uninterrupted gas supply is essential to day-to-day operations.

Renewing gas infrastructure doesn't have to mean disrupting the people who rely on it.

Recently, our Technical Support team was onsite in

Recently, our Technical Support team was onsite in Chelmsford with @essex_suffolk_water and Lowman Group, supporting their project to push a 355mm water main using our Large Pipe Handler.

The SVI Large Pipe Handler is designed to safely and efficiently guide and push large-diameter pipe into position during installation, helping to maintain controlled pipe movement while reducing the manual handling required by site teams.

For this project, the Large Pipe Handler was shelled down to 250mm to meet the project requirements, a simple adjustment that allows the equipment to accommodate different pipe sizes.

The project was taking place in a busy area of Chelmsford, where minimising disruption was a key consideration. By using trenchless technology, the team were able to complete the pipe installation while keeping disruption to the surrounding road and the public to a minimum.

The teams on site commented on the ease of the push with the SVI Large Pipe Handler, particularly how efficiently it helped move the pipe through the installation process.

Our equipment hire is also backed by Technical Support from our experienced team, providing customers with the knowledge and expertise they need throughout their project.

Thank you to Essex & Suffolk Water and Lowman Group for having us onsite and allowing us to support the project.
