Residential LPG · Piped gas distribution

One estate,
one gas network.

A complete piped-LPG solution for residential estates — from a bulk storage yard through metered, monitored supply to every apartment, with billing settled over M-Pesa.

Gas you can meter, monitor and bill as cleanly as electricity — safely, and without cylinders on the stairs.

What we deliver

Built around one idea

A complete piped-LPG utility — storage, distribution, safety, metering and billing — delivered as a single, documented system.

Bulk storage yard

A single 5-tonne tank in a secured, fire-rated yard with emergency systems — no cylinders on the stairs, no per-unit refills.

Distribution network

Buried MDPE mains, steel risers and concealed in-unit piping carry gas safely to every apartment.

Leak safety

Detectors, automatic solenoids and OPSO/UPSO shut-off protect every stage, from tank outlet to kitchen.

LoRaWAN smart meters

Per-apartment metering with remote reading, live monitoring and remote valve control.

M-Pesa billing

Automated invoicing, STK-push payment and reconciliation — settled through Safaricom Daraja.

Compliant handover

Installation, commissioning and documented sign-off against site design and equipment data sheets.

How it works

From bulk tank to kitchen tap

Three stages take gas from a single bulk vessel to a safely-pressured, metered supply in every apartment.

01

Store

5-tonne bulk tank yard

A single vessel supplies the whole estate from a fire-protected, fenced compound with relief venting, excess-flow protection and an ESD panel.

02

Distribute

Buried mains & risers

MDPE PE100 mains run underground to each building, stepping down through staged regulators to a safe ~34 mbar appliance pressure.

03

Meter & bill

LoRaWAN + M-Pesa

Ultrasonic meters report consumption every 15–60 minutes; residents pay by M-Pesa and supply re-opens automatically on payment.

Why Kelavi

Safer gas, simpler management.

Certified equipment, internationally-benchmarked safety and modern digital utility management — reliability, transparency and control from installation through continuous operation.

  • No cylinders on stairwells — a single fire-protected bulk yard replaces hundreds of individual refills.
  • Life-critical closures use a local detector → solenoid wired loop; LoRa acts as supervisory remote control.
  • Residents pay the gas they use — prepaid tokens or monthly invoices, with SMS receipts and a usage portal.
  • Property managers get a live operator dashboard: meter map, alarms, tank-level alerts and audit-logged remote control.

Instant alarms

Leak, tamper, low-battery and reverse-flow events uplink immediately.

Resilient backhaul

Roof/plant-room gateway on UPS with Ethernet + cellular.

Consumption analytics

Per-unit trends, top users and daily/monthly aggregation.

Auto reconciliation

Daraja callbacks matched to invoices by receipt, amount and phone.

Bring safe, metered gas to your estate.

From a bulk storage yard to per-apartment M-Pesa billing — we design, install, commission and support the whole network.
