Gas

PPC are specialists in the installation of new buried external gas installation pipework from the primary meter outlet valve up to the building entry point. We can install, test and purge installations of any volume or pressure, issuing relevant testing documents on completion.

Our team can connect ‘live’ into most existing installations via bypasses or under pressure tees. These methods mean the end-user has an uninterrupted supply and in addition, the contractor does not have to risk uncovering any pre-existing leaks when reinstating the supply.

We will utilise butt fusion joints where possible as this is the most robust jointing method for PE pipe, electrofusion jointing where necessary.

Water

PPC can supply and install new pipework or replace external mains cold water pipework. We can install either standard MDPE/HPPE or barrier pipe installations for contaminated land where necessary.

PPC (as an approved contractor under the WaterSafe scheme) can install and sign off the installation by issuing a certificate of work completed to the local water authority.

Where necessary, we will install non-return valves at the boundary as a method of backflow prevention. We can connect ‘live’ into most existing installations via under pressure tees.

At PPC we specialise in the installation, maintenance and upgrade of rising mains for water distribution, wastewater transfer and pumped supply systems. We work on the complete pipeline route from the pump sets to the outfall chambers, installing new PE and ductile iron rising mains built to withstand high-pressure and continuous pumping conditions.
