Since then we have employed GQA to provide design and verification on numerous data centre projects. We find their services very professional and they are a pleasure to work with. We look forward to working with them more in the future.”

Where we require verification services in Ireland we engage with GQA as they maintain the same standards of verification as ourselves.

Mick Corban
Technical Director of MEC Environmental Ltd and Co-author of CIRIA C735: 2014“EPG is a leading designer of gas mitigation systems in the UK and Ireland. Specifying the verification requirements for the installation is a vital part of our design. We need to specify verification consultants that we trust and can rely on to provide the best technical competence. Good verification of the installation minimises our liability as designers. When specifying verification services in Ireland, we work with GQA. We have worked with them for several years and their verification and integrity testing services are carried out to best practice industry standards. They can also provide our clients with declarations of conformance through the CL:AIRE Gas Protection Verification Scheme.”
