Description of the Works
Charnwood Core D Gas Supply Maintenance.
Deterioration of the underground gas supply pipework has been identified to the Charnwood & Garendon gas supply at the NCCAT meter house. This pipework serves the gas supply that enters the building at Core D feeding all areas of Charnwood & Garendon.
The deteriorated section is to be replaced with new PE sections of pipework and gas industry WASK above ground transition fittings.
All gas appliances will need to be switched off and isolated prior to work commencing to ensure the gas pressure within the building is maintained. William Freer will carry out the isolation works on Monday 22nd June.
Our GIRS contractor Ashfield Gas will start the operation on Monday 22nd June following confirmation of appliance isolations, this will involve squeezing off the PE main at the meter house and installing the new pipe sections. This work is anticipated to take 5 days including post work checks and tests.
There will be no gas to Charnwood & Garendon building from Monday 22nd June through to Friday 26th June 2026. The lack of gas will result in the high bay Ambi-rad heating & Café hot water system being offline for the duration. We have aligned this work to be carried out during the planned Café refurbishment closure to avoid multiple disruptions.
Tenants are to disseminate the period of no gas to their teams and ensure process gas appliances are not operated during the repair works operation.
(Please note that the gas supply to the Holywell energy centre will still be online and live as it is connected via its own dedicated services, so MTHW heating & indirect hot water will not be affected by the works).
Timescale
