UK - Visitors to London's famous Somerset House have been soaking up the winter atmosphere and the grandeur of the Victorian era with Calor, the UK's leading supplier of liquefied petroleum gas, lighting the way. The open-air Winter Ice Rink located in the venue's main courtyard has attracted thousands of visitors for a fifth consecutive year. An added attraction this year is the use of real Victorian-style gas flame lamp standards, installed by specialist events company EMF Technology. The chosen fuel for the authentic lighting is Calor LPG.

Stuart Roberts of EMF Technology, which provides bespoke special effects and audio and video displays for major events and local authorities, commented that, to provide the right flame effect for the facility, LPG was the only answer. "We wanted to have the right ambience and an authentic look for the Victorian scene. We also had to ensure that the fuel supply and fuel deliveries would meet both safety requirements and strict technical requirements - and that meant talking with Calor.' The agreed solution was a temporary installation of two 2,000 litre Calor LPG bulk tanks, topped up at weekly intervals. Calor's technical team worked with EMF Technology to provide a hassle-free gas supply with each tank situated in its own compound, 50 metres apart.

"We've worked with Calor throughout the five years we've been handling this event," said Roberts. 'The strict safety requirements of the project coupled with our own safety record demand a supplier with the right expertise and safety pedigree.' Calor's LPG expertise is second to none, with service and safety paramount. The company delivers LPG to the site each week, with its vehicles completing the task before 6am to ensure minimal disruption. Calor LPG is used in a wide variety of applications such as heating, catering, and forklift trucks and delivers an integrated package.
