Hi All,
Needed some advice.
Got concrete poured around the new build. Problem is the way the concrete is poured around gas meter. The gas meter is now semi-submerged in concrete.
The levels of the ground hasn't helped, and concreter has poured around without giving much thought.
The regulator on gas meter is still exposed to atmosphere, but the metal 'box' of gas meter is some part within the concrete.
The gas meter is connected to authority incoming (yellow pipe), but not yet connected to internal house plumbing pipework, as appliances are not installed yet. So gas connection is not commissioned by the builder's plumber.
House is handed over, but appliances pending. Plumber will be coming at a later date to install and commission the appliances and connect the gas pipework to meter.
The concrete pour is done by external contractor (not builder).
Is this going to be a problem? Will the builder's plumber flag this as an issue or the gas reading guy?
Would appreciate some inputs.
I am yet to pay the concreter in full. One solution I can think of is removing the concrete completely around the gas meter (500mm either side as well),and just put mulch there.
Thanks in advance.
