Gas Purging Twickenham

Commercial Gas Testing, Purging & CP16 Certification

Our Services

What does it involve?

Atlas Gas provides commercial gas testing, purging, and CP16 certification for businesses, contractors, and property owners in Twickenham. Whether gas is being introduced into a newly installed system, reinstated following construction work, or safely removed during decommissioning for alterations, strip outs, or demolition, our qualified engineers manage the full process while ensuring all current regulations are followed.

Testing and purging are essential steps in confirming that a gas installation is safe before it is commissioned or permanently taken out of service. When new pipework has been installed or existing pipework has been altered, a strength test is carried out first to check the integrity of the system. Once this has been completed, a tightness test is undertaken to confirm there are no leaks before gas is introduced into the pipework.

Pipework Testing and Purging Twickenham

After testing has been completed and the results have been approved, controlled purging is carried out to either bring gas into the pipework or safely remove it, depending on the needs of the project in Twickenham. This process is completed carefully in appropriate areas, kept well away from possible ignition sources, and follows recognised procedures so gas can be dispersed safely.

All testing and purging work is undertaken in line with IGE/UP/1 (IGUP1) guidance and current industry best practice, with safety managed throughout the process. Where required, Atlas Gas can also issue CP16 Gas Safety Certificates to confirm the installation has been correctly tested, purged, and commissioned in accordance with the relevant regulations.
