Our Live Service Insertion (LSI) solution provides a trenchless technique for renewing live 1”,1.25”,1½” and 2” gas services faster and at lower cost, with minimal interruption to customers’ gas supply.

By enabling service renewal from the private property, LSI can help utilities:

• Avoid public highway excavation, reducing disruption, traffic management requirements and reinstatement costs
• Minimise excavation, labour and associated permit requirements to help reduce OPEX
• Improve productivity by reducing time spent on site and enabling operatives to complete more work with existing resources
• Improve workforce safety by reducing excavation activity and exposure to highway working environments
• Overcome access challenges and reduce the impact on homeowners, driveways and surrounding areas
• Reduce environmental impact through fewer excavations, less reinstatement and reduced vehicle movements
• For gas network operators seeking a proven alternative to traditional dead service renewal methods, Live Service Insertion offers a more efficient and flexible approach to renewing 1”,1.25”,1½” and 2” live services.
• Support both planned operations and emergency repairs, including the repair of leaking joints.
• Deliver a best practice technique that is fully approved across all GDNs.

A smarter way to renew live gas services, with less excavation, less disruption and greater operational efficiency.

The FOAMPACK™ system is well proven having been in use as an annular sealant for over 20 years. Our no-gas cut off technique, Live Service Isolation, may be carried out prior to insertion.
