Goomeri company James Giles Plumbing has won the Elgas Commercial Type B Gas Installation Of The Year Award at the 2019 Plumbing and Gas Industry Awards.
The win marks a record-equalling fifth consecutive year that James Giles Plumbing have taken out a top gas installation award.
The awards were announced on Friday at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.
This year the company was engaged by Swickers Kingaroy, the largest pig processing facility in the southern hemisphere, to install and commission a new 25GJ/h Type B gas scorcher.
As part of this, they had to upgrade the existing pipe work and pressure reduction station at the bulk LPG tank.
They also had to assist in the design of the new scorcher, complete the Type B Technical submission and assist with the development of the hazard and operability study (HAZOP) for the new gas system.
“Although this project wasn’t our biggest project this year, it provided a unique set of challenges for gas compliance and safety, and could only be completed in stages as the new slaughter floor was constructed,” Justin Giles said.
The judges said the company’s high standard of work using innovative material and best practice for the industry made them worthy winners of the award.
The awards are hosted by Master Plumbers’ Association of Queensland in partnership with Tradelink.
They aim to highlight the hard work and dedication invested into the industry by apprentices, plumbers, gasfitters, hydraulic consultants and other industry workers.
This year the sell-out awards ceremony recognised individuals and companies in 18 categories.
VIPs attending the awards included Public Works Minister Mick de Brenni, Shadow Minister Michael Hart, Plumbers Union State secretary Gary O’Halloran, and QBBC commissioner Brett Bassett.
