The scope of work of this proposal is to develop a robust performance specification for the use of polymeric pipe lining technologies within multi-occupancy buildings.
The output would consist of an industry agreed standard for the performance specification and targets for any coating/lining system for the coating of small bore (predominantly below 4-inch diameter) gas pipework systems in the property types described above. The output would enable the validation of any technology in this application and the demonstration of ‘fitness for purpose’ both technically and the from customer perspective such as speed and inconvenience.
Benefits
- Development of a Gas Industry Standard that is agreed unanimously by all participating networks, providing a comprehensive objective technical specification to facilitate the evaluation, verification and certification of new innovative polymer lining techniques for multi-occupancy gas risers.
- An objective customer specification agreed by all participating networks
- Successfully designing a specification test procedure protocol which can be conducted by any third party test house, with appropriate accreditation, on a prospective riser coating/lining system that can be delivered at a cost of no more than £100k at 2014 pricing.
- Successfully designing a risk model to assess delivery method
