Policy studies
Constructing a new energy network is associated with significant costs. Consequently, the concept that is best suited to the situation should be identified as soon as possible. Various energy concepts can be compared on issues such as costs and CO2 emissi...
Benchmarking
Benchmarking is one of the possibilities for improving the quality of your organisation and/or processes. If you wish to achieve the objectives that you have set, for example, for your asset management, you will have to translate them into specific, measu...
Sleeve connection assessment for heat distribution networks
The reliability of district heating networks heavily depends on the quality of pipeline connections. Water ingress at socket connections can compromise insulation, leading to reduced thermal efficiency and corrosion in steel pipes. It is crucial for both ...
Emergency manual and emergency drills
Organizing emergency drills allows network companies to assess and demonstrate that the organisation is ready and capable of handling a breakdown or emergency effectively. An emergency drill should be organised based on the emergency manual, with great at...
Data Management and Analysis
You probably collect large quantities of data about your network, including, for example, inspection reports for stations, pipeline leakage detection details, breakdown records or other information.
Energy measurement for gas and heat
Energy meters are a crucial component in distribution networks for gas and heat. Based on its specific knowledge in the field of gas and heat measurement, Kiwa Technology will be delighted to advise you on purchasing and applying these energy meters.
Explosion Safety
Every company that transports, stores and uses flammable substances is required by the Dutch Working Conditions Act (Arbowet) to pursue a policy aimed at protecting employees against the dangers of explosion.
Gas analysis by ISO-certified laboratory
If your organization works with gases, it may be important to know their calorific value or Wobbe Index. In addition, it's crucial that the gas does not contain harmful trace components. At Kiwa, you can rely on expert analysis of a wide range of gas prop...
Gas systems in residential complexes
Safe use of gas falls under your responsibility as a Housing Association or Owners Association (Vereniging Van Eigenaren or VVE). Analysing possible risks and the scope of those risks is of essential importance for this.
Gas Stations and ATEX
All network operators' gas stations with accessible spaces where hazardous explosive atmospheres may occur are subject to the ATEX regulations. Network operators should therefore ask themselves many questions about safety. Kiwa Technology can advise you.
Getting a grip on gas
Actively keeping track of the complete design, installation and management cycle for gas systems owned by housing associations is often difficult by the involvement of many different parties. As a result, housing associations can lose control. Kiwa Techno...
Feasibility Studies on Alternative Fuels
Kiwa Technology carries out feasibility studies to support gas traders, fleet owners and governments; to facilitate investment, safety, and provide an overview on the possibilities of alternative fuels CNG, LNG, H2 and CH2. To serve this objective, the st...
Innovative products and technologies
Innovative new products and services that can be used in the construction, maintenance, repair, replacement and management of gas distribution networks regularly appear on the market.
Cathodic Protection
Cathodic Protection (CP) is the ideal method for guarding pipelines and storage tanks against corrosion. However, the application of CB requires specialist knowledge, especially in extraordinary situations or when repairing breakdowns.
Boiler room under ground level
Certification of a boiler room under ground level is intended to reduce the probability of a gas explosion in the boiler room to a significant extent. This is achieved by implementing additional measures.
Network design
Network design for new areas or minor adjustments to existing networks is a determinant factor in the relationship between your investment costs and delivery reliability. You don't want to lay a large amount of pipeline capacity unnecessarily, but you do ...
Investigation accidents involving gas
Kiwa Technology investigates the cause of all types of accidents involving gas. These investigations are required in order to continue to use gas safely and also in order to assign responsibility for damages to the right parties.
