Gas Tightness Testing
Thorough gas tightness testing of commercial and industrial pipework installations — pre-commissioning, post-installation verification and periodic compliance testing to current IGEM standards.
Gas tightness testing is a critical safety requirement for all commercial and industrial gas installations. BLG Engineering Ltd carries out tightness testing to IGEM/UP/1B and IGE/UP/1 standards, providing full written test reports and certification on completion.
What We Cover
- Pre-commissioning tightness testing
- Post-installation verification
- Periodic compliance testing
- IGEM/UP/1B & IGE/UP/1 compliant procedures
- Full written test reports & certification
- Emergency tightness investigations
Pre-Commissioning & Post-Installation Testing
Before any new gas installation is commissioned, a tightness test must be carried out to confirm the integrity of the pipework system. We carry out pre-commissioning tightness tests on all new installations and post-installation verification tests following any modification or extension to an existing system.
Periodic Compliance Testing
Existing gas installations should be periodically tested to confirm ongoing integrity. We carry out periodic tightness tests for facilities managers, landlords and building owners, providing written reports and certification to support compliance programmes and insurance requirements.
Emergency Tightness Investigations
Where a gas escape or suspected leak has been identified, we carry out emergency tightness investigations to locate and confirm the source. We work quickly and methodically to isolate the fault, make safe and provide a written report of findings and remedial actions taken.
