Advanced gas metering and data solutions: AMR and smart meters

We design, install, maintain, and monitor gas metering systems – from new gas installations to the exchange of ‘dumb’ meters for advanced metering systems.

To install your new gas meter, we’ll co-ordinate our site visit while our Approved Meter Installers complete rigorous pressure and safety control checks. We’ll also liaise with gas suppliers to compete necessary data exchanges between them, the Meter Asset Manager (MAM), and Xoserve.

For gas suppliers and end users, our services include:

• connection design and construction
• installation and maintenance of settlement meters and sub-meters
• data collection for billing and settlements
• analysis tools to help you save money and make more informed decisions.

We invest in digital workflows to promote efficiency and data security throughout the installation or exchange process. This includes:

• meter and industry data validation and cleansing
• status reporting
• a near real-time web-based data platform
• client visibility of activities
• electronic industry compliant file flows
• digital images at all stages of work undertaken.

We’ll make all the arrangements to remove your old gas meter, leading to the cap of the supply feeder pipework downstream of the Emergency Control Valve. Removed meters will be processed in accordance with MCoP requirements with all required data provided to relevant parties. We’ll also remove or alter downstream pipework, if needed.

For meter service disconnections, we’ll manage the process from start to finish, arranging access and providing data to the relevant parties.

Spot waste and save money with sub-metering. For single operator businesses or public sector premises, sub-metering is useful for measuring gas consumption by department, floor, or function. It can also identify data important to fulfil obligations linked to carbon reduction and the Energy Savings Opportunities Scheme.

In multi-occupier settings like retail centres, we recommend sub-metering so that costs are based on consumption rather than on a broader measure like footprint.

You’ll have a dedicated account manager who’ll oversee both the installation project and all data delivery throughout. We install AMR loggers and SMETS2 smart meters using our bespoke asset management, validation and auditing software suite which automatically captures every stage of the installation. We also do regular connectivity checks with our data centre, providing you with reports for all contracted AMR service meter points.

Our Mimir datalogger provides remote monitoring of energy data and plays an integral role within our AMR service. Mimir collects consumption in half-hourly increments and transmits data – via GPRS or SMS – to a secure central data collection centre in a variety file formats.

We take a personal and tailored approach to every gas pipe and metering job, with a project management system that places you at the centre. Our Project Managers are qualified engineers who can oversee all aspects, from initial design through to installation and commissioning.

Thanks to this approach, we work with some of the leading industrial and commercial brands in Britain – from major automotive businesses to blue chip retailers.

We run a full project lifecycle management process covering construction, with installation services scheduled to minimise disruption. This includes out of hours support, 24/7 working, live connections and hot tapping.

Our services adhere to the following standards:

• quality management system ISO 9001:2008
• environmental management system ISO 14001:2004
• occupational health and safety management systems 45001:2018.

All these systems are regularly audited and externally accredited by a UKAS approved organisation. We’re committed to safety – in whatever we do, wherever we operate.
