Knowing where your valves are and that they are in good working order will maintain and prolong apparatus life and make sure that any work you undertake is done efficiently and cost-effectively.
If you have a burst mains, for example, locating the valve and isolating the burst quickly and easily will mean reduced water loss and easier repairs – less labour costs for you, less disruption for your customers, less impact on the environment.
Our team can fully assess your networks, identifying the most efficient way of setting up your site, with minimal disruption to you and your customers.
The Network validation process includes an apparatus audit, a survey of flow rates and pressure control, but you can also tailor a package to suit your needs.
Management and Repair Services
Our ‘Find and Repair’ technicians will identify and isolate current and potential leaks on your network. Our Network Inspectors use a range of specialist equipment for accurate leak detection surveys and effective leak correlation. All our services can be customised and adapted to suit your needs.Leakage Survey
If you want to take a pro-active approach towards detecting leaks, we can undertake a leakage survey in a particular District Metered Area (DMA), town or reservoir supply zone. Our Network Inspectors will record water leak sounds that are propagated along the pipe walls, using leak correlation technology and ground microphones to find the exact location of the leak. Urgent leaks that may impact on your customers are reported immediately for emergency repair.Leak Correlation
Our Network Inspectors use the latest computer technology to pinpoint the precise location of water leaks, significantly reducing your excavation costs.Flow Logging
If you manage a large water network – serving schools, university and hospitals, for example – flow logging gives you a quick and inexpensive picture of how water is being used. Regular logging provides the best way to accurately determine the level of leakage and the value of water being lost.Step Testing
If a system survey has detected a leak, we can use step testing to find it. Particularly effective on extensive water systems, we can test out of hours or on a zone-by-zone basis, so your customers have minimal disruption to their water supply.Drop Testing
Using drop testing, we can check for vital water tightness of storage reservoirs or tanks.PRV Maintenance
Pressure Reducing Valves (PRVs) allow you to actively manage your water supply demand, saving money for your business and helping with water conservation. Our expert team can advise you on optimising pressure management, implementing pressure zones where necessary, plus commissioning and logging PRVs.To prolong the life of PRVs, we also provide maintenance, verification and calibration of water flow meters – a valve free from dirt will function for years with minimum attention, saving you time, inconvenience and cash.
