Natural Gas Box

Stand-alone Unit for Small Natural Gas Needs

Natural Gas Box

Express Gas Boxes have identical technology to the mobile gas units (trailers) but have a much lower rental cost because their gas storage capacity is also smaller. They work well for small buildings with low gas consumption or to commission equipment that consumes a low amount of gas. We will be able to tell you very quickly if you need a Box or a Mobile unit or a mix of them. Send us your project information by filling any of the forms in this page.

Gas boxes are connected to a building or directly to external gas equipment and then a mobile gas unit will refill them periodically as needed. The boxes stay in that location during the entire project. We have equipped the boxes with our proprietary remote monitoring that keep tabs on their gas levels. Through the cell-phone towers remote monitoring technology that is part all our equipment.

Boxes have been deployed in a lot of applications:

For Contractors:

Gas boxes are very popular at residential subdivisions to gas-up model homes during the sales process and when permanent service gas lines are delayed. After several homes are built we can make them all share a small mobile unit, because we can upgrade you from a box to several boxes to a mobile unit as your gas needs grow over time. All our services are scalable so there’s no need to get anything bigger than you need.
Construction firms needing building heat or process gas, prior to building delivery, to finish interior work, speed-up drying of paints and finishes, commission natural gas equipment, or other construction needs. Express boxes and trailers eliminate the need for costly, less safe propane based area-heaters and eliminates changing natural gas heaters for propane use.
Electrical contractors needing to test or commission a small natural gas generator or other small appliances.
Any small project that requires modest amounts of continuous natural gas supply or consumes gas intermittently.

For Gas Utilities:

Natural Gas utilities needing to meet new customer delivery demands prior to building hook-up to a service line. Delays in new gas hook-up can be costly to utilities and customers. Express GAS BOXES provides an assurance that gas will be available on the date agreed and eliminates costly changes to propane or electrical appliances.
Natural Gas utilities needing to quickly replace pipped gas flow and restore service due to unexpected interruption or planned maintenance of gas lines. Inexpensive way for your service departments to have a quick backup to disruptions that last more than an hour. We rent and sell our equipment and services to many gas utilities, so contact us and find out how you can provide better service levels with our equipment and technology.

How It Works:

An Express Box rolls out of a flatbed trailer and secured to the ground with spikes replacing its wheels for safety. The box is then connected to the building and 110V drop-cord to charge its back-up batteries and keep the telecom device providing remote gas readings through the cell phone network via text messages to any phone. The system is fully operational in minutes. Express is scalable and sized to meet your gas volume needs by adding more boxes or replacing boxes with trailers of larger capacity. Blue Gas will also refill the system using a trailer unit which plugs-in directly to the box without moving it. Our mobile gas units are the most used in construction sites and utility outages.
