Gas Maintenance Services
Let Us Maintain Your Gas Line Safety
Remember, it is the responsibility of the property owner, manager, tenant or occupant to maintain the gas lines on your side of the meter. For property managers, it is always better to be proactive by auditing and managing your gas systems rather than reacting to potentially high risk issues. MBS Engineering Gas Maintenance Program is a yearly Auditing, Testing and Reporting service for your property’s gas system to identify, test and prevent gas related issues caused by aging or obsolete equipment.
Seismic Safety Valve Inspection
Seismic shut off valves are required for use by the State Architect Division of California on all natural gas lines. MBS Engineering inspects all existing seismic valves in place and recommends the proper types of earthquake valves to install on existing gas lines if a seismic value is not currently installed. In the event of an earthquake, seismic shut-off valves will close to prevent gas flow into a structure. Having this valve installed will greatly reduce the risk of explosions or fires that may coincide with earthquakes and any damage to gas line integrity that may occur.

Gas Regulator Maintenance
Gas Regulators are safety devices used on all gas lines to control an incoming higher gas pressure down to a desired lower gas pressure to feed downstream equipment and processes. There are several issues that faulty regulators can cause including venting gas out of relief vents, lock up issues, and drop-in regulator set point, to name a few. These cannot only cause issues with the efficiency and life span of downstream equipment, but can also raise safety issues within the gas system. With the MBS Engineering Maintenance Program, we will verify outlet pressure set points on all regulators as well as recommend replacements for any gas regulators that are experiencing issues.

Manual Shut Off Valve Maintenance
Manual Shut Off Valves allow an easy way to shut off and isolate gas lines within your gas system. Manual Shut Off Valves that are not properly maintained by regular exercise can cause serious safety issues since manual valves can become corroded and frozen over time. In some situations, properties have only one manual gas shut-off valve location which is commonly near the main gas meter. The location might be difficult to access, and could result in increased danger in the event of an emergency. MBS Engineering will inspect and exercise all valves within the system and make recommendations for valve replacement, if needed.
