In an industry where accuracy is essential, the Firstgas Measurement Lab is quietly making a big impact. Based in New Plymouth, the lab brings together technical knowledge, hands-on experience, and a shared commitment to quality helping ensure gas measurements and devices are accurate and reliable.

Keeping our pipelines in excellent condition and protecting from corrosion is a crucial part of our work at Firstgas, and we have a continuous programme of checking and maintaining them.

We are actively researching, innovating, and investing in future fuels, this includes a future with renewable gas. Over time, we plan to help New Zealand transition to a net zero carbon future, this involves decarbonising our gas pipeline by blending renewable gases like biomethane and hydrogen.

Gas pipeline’s provide us with a safe and efficient way to flow natural gas, but they do need to be properly maintained, inspected regularly and kept clean. There can be some erosion of the pipes, and deposits can build up inside them.
