HMP Chelmsford Gas Main Replacement BPRN 522/22/7902

Description

The existing gas line is not suitable due to the numerous leaks which continue to occur over the past two years at the establishment. Additionally, unnecessary cost is expended to operate temporary boilers in place of the primary gas not functioning properly, and the establishment also needs to increase their supply of gas to account for the new line.
These improvements will bring:
Gas Main Replacement:
-Total replacement of the existing gas line system within the built environment of the
Establishment (i.e., site wide).
-Increase the gas supply to the Establishment to prevent boiler lock out
