The Carpenters arms is a picturesque public house which has been a local institution since the 1800’s. Situated just off the Old London Road, its reputation for a quality pint and good food proceeds it.

Utility Site Services were engaged to provide the establishment with a new gas connection to allow it to expand upon its already extensive menu.

As the local gas infrastructure is all medium pressure, we had to provide the customer with a medium pressure service and meter. The knock on effect of this was that in order to remain compliant, the site needed a free standing kiosk to house the meter away from the external wall as per the regulations.

Our project challenges were mainly dealing with the local highways authority, Essex County Council. They are notorious for being an incredibly diligent authority so project timescales in this area have a tendency for being longer than standard lead in times. This was all factored in by setting the customers expectations correctly.
