Live Riser Transfer
Details
This technique allows a gas riser within a building to be partly renewed or transferred to a new main without switching off the gas supply.
It is available for use on 1” to 6” diameter low pressure services and offers a solution to the problem of replacing services to high rise apartment blocks and enables sections of old service running under buildings to be abandoned.
The method allows significant time and cost savings as there is no need to disrupt customers’ supplies, avoiding the need to test, purge and relight each individual dwelling in a block of flats.
