Design piping systems, gas stations and gas storage facilities in a fraction of the time. Our AI generates compliant layouts and documentation — your certified engineers review, refine and sign off.
Every service below exists to remove repetitive drafting and manual code-checking from your workload. You keep the judgement calls; the AI handles the iterations, the calculations and the paperwork.
Piping design
Describe the duty and constraints, and the system proposes routed layouts you can compare side by side — with pressure drop, flow and sizing worked out before you commit to a route.
Turn a site survey into a workable forecourt in a single sitting. Pump islands, tank positions, vehicle circulation and hazardous area zoning are laid out together, so conflicts surface early.
Size a tank farm against real demand profiles instead of rules of thumb. Capacity, separation distances and thermal behaviour are modelled together, then checked against the codes that apply on your site.
No design leaves the platform unchecked. Our certified gas engineers review AI output, challenge assumptions and hand back a marked-up design you can take to a client or an inspector with confidence.
The paperwork writes itself from the model. Drawings, schedules, method statements and compliance packs stay in step with the design, so a late change does not mean a late night.
The rules change depending on what you store, how much of it and who is standing next to it. Our models are tuned to the realities of each of these sectors rather than to a generic drafting template.
Multi-pump forecourts and LPG dispensing, planned for rapid rollout. Standardise a compliant site template once, then adapt it to each plot without redrawing from scratch.
Large tank farms where separation distances, bunding and relief paths carry real consequence. Model the whole site so safety-critical interactions are visible before groundworks begin.
Filling halls, manifolds and distribution networks where pressure management is the whole job. Size regulators and headers against genuine demand curves, not worst-case guesswork.
Digesters, upgrading skids and grid injection points bring design problems the old handbooks never covered. We help you engineer them with the same rigour as conventional gas assets.
Regional distribution work that has to coordinate with existing mains, third-party services and reinstatement windows. Plan tie-ins and pressure tiers with the network already in the model.
Firms serving the gas industry who want AI-augmented capability without hiring a data team. Take on more concurrent projects while keeping your own engineers on the technical decisions.
Nothing happens in a black box. You can see what the AI assumed, why it chose a route, and exactly what changed between revisions.
Define the facility type, capacity and regulatory framework, then upload your site data — survey files, existing drawings, ground conditions and service positions.
The system produces optimised piping layouts, equipment placement and hazardous area zoning, with the supporting calculations and compliance notes attached to each option.
Certified gas engineers validate the output against site reality, adjust what needs adjusting and record the reasoning. Approval is a human decision, every time.
Export final blueprints, technical specifications and compliance reports in the formats your contractors and regulators expect — then keep them current as the project evolves.
AI augments engineering expertise — it does not replace it. Our platform accelerates the drafting, checking and documentation. Responsibility for the final design and its sign-off stays with the licensed engineer who approves it.

Straight from the people doing the drafting, the reviewing and the signing off.
The first draft used to eat a fortnight. Now it lands the same afternoon and my team spends that fortnight on the decisions that actually need an engineer.
What sold me was the audit trail. Every clearance and every assumption is written down, so when the inspector asks why, I have the answer in front of me.
I was sceptical about AI anywhere near a hazardous area drawing. Knowing a certified gas engineer signs off every output is what made it usable for us.
AI GAS SYSTEMS LTD was founded by Colin Weldon, a gas industry engineer whose career includes working with British Gas. The knowledge behind this platform was not gathered from textbooks — it came from designing and building piping systems, gas station infrastructure and storage facilities on real sites, under real constraints.
After years of watching capable engineers spend their days redrawing variations of work they had already done, he saw the opportunity: encode that hard-won judgement into software, so it could be applied at scale without diluting it.
The company exists to help engineers everywhere design safer, faster and more compliant gas infrastructure — combining decades of on-site experience with AI that handles the repetitive work.
Empower engineers to design gas infrastructure faster, safer and more accurately — combining proven engineering experience with intelligent AI.
Colin Weldon, Director
Give every gas engineer the drafting speed of a large design office, without the overhead.
AI-assisted engineering that respects human expertise and regulatory rigour.
Purpose-built for gas. Not a general drafting tool with a gas add-on bolted to it.
Directed by an engineer who has stood on the sites these designs get built on.
No claims about how long we have been trading. These are the things you can hold us to from the first project.
Active users designing gas infrastructure across Europe and beyond.
A live engineering team, not a chatbot queue, whenever a design question cannot wait.
Designs are generated against applicable national and international gas codes, then verified at review.
Live projects planned and documented using the platform.
Built on genuine sector experience, including work with British Gas — not on generic AI tooling.
Book time with our engineering team and test the approach against a project of your own.
Practical writing on compliance, design automation and the realities of getting gas infrastructure approved and built.
The five checks that cause the most rework when they are left until the end. Catch them at layout stage and your approval cycle gets dramatically shorter.

How compliance automation actually works on a piping model, and why automated checking makes human review sharper rather than redundant.
Read articleYes — and that is deliberate. The AI produces drafts, calculations and documentation; a licensed engineer reviews, adjusts and signs off. Legal responsibility for the design stays exactly where it always has. What changes is how much of your day is spent drafting rather than engineering.
Designs are generated against the framework you select for the project. Commonly used sets include:
Code sets are configurable per project, and every check is listed in the compliance pack so your reviewer can see precisely what was tested.
For a straightforward forecourt or storage layout, expect a reviewable draft within a few hours of uploading site data. Complex or heavily constrained sites take longer. Final sign-off depends on your own review process and the depth of scrutiny the project requires — we do not put a clock on that.
Yes. Drawings export to PDF and DWG, 3D geometry to STEP, and schedules to spreadsheet formats your contractors already use. Compliance reports come out as formatted documents suitable for submission alongside the drawings.
It is designed for people who already know gas engineering, so the concepts will be familiar from the first screen. Most engineers are producing usable drafts after a short guided onboarding session with our team. There is no scripting or configuration language to learn.
Yes. We deliver tailored training for engineering teams and build integrations into existing document control, asset and CAD environments. Get in touch with the details of your setup and we will scope it with you.
Bring us a project you are working on right now — a forecourt, a tank farm, a network upgrade. We will walk through how the platform would handle it, where it would save you time, and where you would still want a human engineer's hands on the drawing.
No obligation, no sales script. Just a conversation between engineers.
Tell us what you are designing. A member of the engineering team will come back to you within one working day.
