NGN Enhances Pipeline Tech with NORMA Group Electrofusion Fittings
Northern Gas Networks, a British infrastructure firm, is getting help from NORMA Group to update its gas distribution network in northern England. This long-standing client has been receiving electrofusion fittings for home connections from NORMA Group’s Indian subsidiary Kimplas Piping Systems Private Ltd. (“Kimplas”) since February 2025 on a four-year contract. More than 280,000 fits will be delivered yearly through early 2029 during the duration of the arrangement.
CEO Mark Wilhelms: “This order highlights how important our products are when it comes to a reliable gas supply. Our electrofusion fittings ensure a safe and durable connection of pipes for the gas supply to both households and businesses. We have a broad product portfolio for gas and water pipelines and intend to gradually expand our business activities in the area of critical infrastructure.”
The contract is part of a broader initiative to modernize the region’s gas network by replacing aging metal pipelines with more durable plastic alternatives. Kimplas will supply electrofusion fittings in various configurations, ranging in diameter from 20 mm to 125 mm. These fittings are joined to the pipelines through an electrofusion process, creating especially secure and resilient connections for gas and water applications.
The fittings are used at service connections, linking the main pipeline network to individual buildings. Northern Gas Networks operates a pipeline infrastructure spanning over 36,000 kilometers and serves approximately 2.9 million residential and commercial customers.
