DN-10 Dead Service Insertion

by Alan Milford, from the Community

This DN-10 dead service insertion checklist guides operatives through safe replacement of decommissioned steel gas services with PE pipe. It covers visual inspection for corrosion and obstructions, excavation and isolation, purging to 0 percent gas in air, measuring service length and gas load, selecting PE diameter, inserting with a pushing machine or by hand, integrity checks, pressure testing, commissioning and purging per SGN procedures, sealing the old service, and completing documentation at the ECV.

DN-10 Dead Service Insertion Checklist
Use this DN-10 Dead Service Insertion checklist to assess competency and document each step of replacing a steel gas service by dead insertion. It covers site checks for corrosion, excavation and decommissioning, purging to 0% gas in air, ECV removal and standpipe inspection, measuring service length and gas load, calculating PE diameter and pressure drop, clearing debris, safe insertion and communication, visual checks for kinks and scoring limits over 10%, fitting the service head adaptor and IECV, connection to the main, pressure testing, commissioning and purging in line with SGN procedures, sealing and annulus filling, applying electrical insulation, and completing the service information label.

DN-15c: Dead Mains Insertion by Pushing
This DN-15c checklist supports safe, controlled dead mains insertion by pushing for gas or water utilities. It covers site setup, required equipment, launch and receive pits, gauging and preparation of the parent main, PE pipe protection and guidance, and step-by-step insertion controls. It includes checks for marking lengths, bead inspection after butt fusion, intermediate excavation inspections, and direction changes with rollers. Final actions include capping ends, pressure testing to specification, and documenting pass or referral for further training.

DN09 Live Gas Service Insertion
Use this DN09 checklist to guide safe live gas service insertion. It covers pre-job assessment, tracing the service, barhole leakage survey, excavation and Voltstick checks, confirming suitability, and closing the ECV. Follow steps for installing a valved gland assembly, measuring and cleaning the carrier pipe, integrity testing PE pipe at 100 mbar for 5 minutes, connecting the pipe pushing machine, purging and monitoring district mains pressure, and verifying an effective seal. Includes purge stack clearances 2.5 m above excavations and 5 m downwind, end sealing, soundness testing, relaying to the property, purging, final leakage survey, and SGN-compliant sign off.

DN09 Live Service Insertion Checklist
This DN09 live service insertion checklist guides gas utility technicians through safe, compliant insertion of PE pipe into an existing service. It covers site tracing, barhole leakage surveys, excavations, electrical cross bonding, valve and gland assembly setup, pressure verification, rod and elbow testing, pipe cleaning, integrity and soundness tests, purging, sealing, and final reconnection to the property. It aligns with current SGN procedures and emphasizes safety checks, pressure monitoring, and waste disposal requirements.
