Description of the Works
The gas entry pipework to Falk/Egg Common Room, Performance Centre Gas Meter Room + Rubber Crumb Plant Room + Performance Centre Meter Kiosk + Performance Centre Corridor (Box100 plant room + SDW hall), 3D Design Gas Meter House, Fine Arts Tin Can Plant Room, Village Central Hub Reception (International House) & David Collett Plant Room is to be replaced in line with the HSE gas safety case requirements, the high risk corroding steel pipework is to be replaced with new above ground MDPE risers (WASK fittings) to allow new entry pipework to the latest gas standards and guidelines. In addition to the entry replacement new external building service isolation valves will be cut into the gas service pipework leading up to the building.
The 3D design meter house pipework is to be replaced at the same time as the fine art building entry replacement, this has been scheduled to coincide with the 3D design meter replacement by Energy Assets to avoid multiple shutdowns to work on the same gas system.
Excavation to expose the existing buried gas pipework will be required to allow the service to be squeezed off, in some instances footpaths will be partially affected for the duration of the works. Noise is expected from heavy plant machinery.
During the works to Falk Egg common room there will be no gas available, consequently the laundry driers and hot water service will be unavailable during the works.
The hot water service fed from the Performance Centre Rubber Crumb will be affected by the work while the gas pipework is replaced – there will be no hot water available during the works.
The hot water service & laundry driers fed from the David Collett Plant room will be affected by the work while the gas pipework is replaced – there will be no hot water or driers available during the works. The sub-warden flat boiler will also be unavailable during the works.
