Engineering - Gas supply, construction experts

Introduction

Gas supply typically deals with the system of pipes and associated fittings that are created to convey gas from the control valve or the gas containers to the connection point of a gas appliance or another gas container. The supply systems often include other gas appliances such as gas flues, cylinders and valves. Gas supply work is essential in all aspects of construction for domestic, commercial or civil works.

• Installation, alteration, extension or repair of gas supply machinery
  
• Installation, extension or repair of gas flues and ventilation
