How we use PRI monitoring to keep homes safe

We use above-ground PRIs (gas governors) wherever possible.

We prefer that all PRI housings should be walk-in, purpose built housings, or standard GRP housings consisting of double doors complete with a 3-point locking system. Where a GC type kiosk is proposed to be used, agreement with us must to be obtained, supported by a suitable, detailed site-specific risk assessment.

The location of the PRI needs to be agreed with us and clearly shown on plans, together with the specific details of the proposals for vehicular access and off-road parking, accessibility for future maintenance, and proximity of dwellings and other structures.

Developers should carefully consider the likelihood of vehicular damage when choosing a PRI location and additional protective measures may be required, e.g. bollards, barriers, etc. Unrestricted 24-hour 365-day vehicle and pedestrian access is required for all PRIs.
