A planned city centre built from the late 1960s around a mall and council buildings, ringed by retail, offices and the Wiri industrial area. A good gas install is one you never think about again. We size the pipe correctly, place regulators and bottles where they are safe and accessible, and test every joint before the gas goes on.
Commercial and home gas fitting around Manukau and Wiri
Manukau was planned from the late 1960s as a city centre, with the mall opening in 1976 and offices, retail and the Wiri industrial land growing around it. Gas work here leans commercial: food outlets around Westfield Manukau and the Supa Centa, and workshops and plants in Wiri that run heaters, burners or process equipment on gas.
Commercial gas needs more than a bigger pipe. We calculate the total demand of every appliance that could run at once, check the supply pressure, size the pipework to suit and fit isolation valves staff can reach quickly in an emergency. When a tenancy changes hands, we can test the existing installation and certify any alterations, so the incoming operator has records ready for their insurer and landlord.
The houses around the centre are mostly from the 1970s and 1980s, with state houses among them. Many state houses were never built with gas, so a new cooktop or gas hot water there means planning a supply from a meter or a new LPG bottle station. Homes of that era that do have gas can carry older appliance connections that need upgrading before anything new goes on. The land is low former farmland near the Wiri volcanoes, so on longer buried runs we check for rock and soft spots before we dig. Industrial sites in Wiri also get a check of existing isolation valves and labelling, so anyone on shift can find the shut-off quickly.
Local tip: If you are taking over a food tenancy in Manukau, have the existing gas installation tested before you bring in your own appliances.
