Cylinder handling in busy spaces
Kitchens and workshops that depend on loose cylinders lose space, lose time and carry avoidable risk. A piped system moves storage outside and delivers gas where it is used.
LPG and Gas Engineering
LPG systems designed, installed and tested properly
We build the gas infrastructure behind homes, kitchens, hotels and industrial facilities in Ghana. That covers tank installation, piping, testing and certification support, with one team accountable from design to commissioning.
What this service covers
LPG is now the working fuel for a large share of Ghanaian kitchens, hotels and small industry. The equipment is well understood, but the installation around it is where projects succeed or fail. Pipe sizing, tank siting, ventilation, isolation and testing all decide whether a system runs quietly for years or becomes a recurring problem.
Excello handles that engineering work directly. We install underground and aboveground LPG tanks, run gas piping for residential, commercial and industrial buildings, test and support certification of completed work, and supervise LPG projects from feasibility through commissioning. Where an existing system has reached the end of its service life we handle renovation, refurbishment and decommissioning.
Work is carried out by field engineers under departmental heads and area supervisors, so there is a named person responsible for the quality of the installation on site.
Scope of work
- Installation of all kinds of gas piping
- Underground and aboveground LPG tank installation
- LPG and natural gas installations
- Testing of gas piping and LPG tanks
- Certification support to regulatory standards
- LPG project supervision
- Turn key LPG project management
- Tank renovation, refurbishment, commissioning and decommissioning
The problem
What we are usually called in to fix
Most of the LPG problems we see on site come from a small number of avoidable causes.
Installations done without design
Undersized pipe, poor tank siting and missing isolation points cause pressure problems and make later maintenance difficult. We size and set out the system before installation begins.
No record of testing
Facilities are often unable to show that an installation was pressure tested. We test, document and support the certification the facility needs.
Ageing tanks and pipework
Older vessels and steel lines eventually need renovation, refurbishment or decommissioning. That work needs planning rather than improvisation.
How a piped system works
From tank to appliance, in plain terms

Stage 1 of 5
LPG tank
Gas is stored in a tank or cylinder bank sited away from the building, with the separation, ventilation and access an installation needs. Nothing is stored in the kitchen.

Applications
How the work differs by building type
Select a category to see the typical scope.
Homes and residential buildings
For a private home we take gas out of the kitchen and into a properly sited tank or cylinder bank, then pipe it back in through concealed lines to the cooker and water heater points.
- Tank or cylinder bank siting and installation
- Concealed in wall piping to appliance points
- Leak detection and shut off devices
- Pressure testing before handover
Our process
From first site visit to commissioning
Select a stage to see what it involves.
Site assessment
We survey the site, note access, ventilation and separation distances, and confirm the gas load the installation has to carry.
Safety
Why professional engineering matters here
LPG is safe when it is contained, ventilated, monitored and maintained. Each of those is an engineering decision made long before the gas is turned on.
Separation distances, ventilation, pipe material, jointing method and the position of isolation valves are not preferences. They determine how the system behaves when something goes wrong, and they are the first things we set out on a project.
We work with the Ghana Standards Authority, National Petroleum Authority, Energy Commission and Ghana National Fire Service so that installations meet current requirements and can be certified without rework.
