Our Services

Commercial gas testing and purging services

Atlas Gas provides commercial gas testing and purging support for businesses, contractors and property owners. The service is suited to new installations, altered pipework, recommissioning, decommissioning and planned project work where a controlled approach is needed.

Before attendance, the team can discuss the site, pipework route, access constraints and the reason for the test or purge. Strength testing, tightness testing, purging and CP16 certification can then be scoped around the actual commercial gas pipework requirement.

Pipework testing, tightness checks and controlled purging

Testing and purging help confirm that gas pipework is ready for the next stage of use, alteration or removal. Where new or modified pipework is involved, testing is used to check integrity before gas is introduced. Controlled purging is then planned to introduce or remove gas from the pipework in a managed way.

Atlas Gas keeps the process practical for commercial sites by agreeing the scope, access requirements and documentation needs before work starts. CP16 paperwork can be provided where it forms part of the agreed inspection and handover requirement.

Support for live commercial sites and project teams

Many clients only need testing or purging at a specific point in a wider project. Atlas Gas explains what is required in clear terms, coordinates with site contacts where needed and helps reduce avoidable disruption by planning the work around access, isolation and reinstatement requirements.

What We Can Help With

Planning and handover

What helps a commercial gas test or purge run smoothly

The best result usually comes from agreeing the practical details before anyone attends site, so the team can understand access, timing, pipework context and the documentation needed before work begins.

Scope the pipework

Share the pipework route, plant areas, drawings and reason for the test or purge so the visit can be planned sensibly.

Prepare site access

Confirm isolation points, working areas, permits and any contractor coordination needed before testing or purging starts.

Agree documentation

Where CP16 certification or other handover notes are required, Atlas Gas can include this in the agreed scope for the work.
