Case Studies

Delivering Enhanced Network Control Through Pressure Monitor Valve Installation in Wirral

Challenge

· Integrating new PMV equipment into an established network required accurate alignment to ensure optimal performance

· Excavating and exposing the existing pipework demanded precision to prevent damage to the asset and surrounding infrastructure

· Working on an existing live main required careful planning and controlled operations to ensure safety and avoid supply disruption

Solution

· Undertook controlled mechanical excavation to safely expose the existing water main, ensuring accuracy and protection of the live asset

· Installed the PMV system in line with approved designs, integrating it into the network with careful attention to alignment and performance requirements

· Carried out full testing and commissioning to validate functionality and confirm successful operation of the system

· Constructed a purpose-built chamber to house the PMV, providing long-term protection and safe access for maintenance

· Completed full reinstatement works, leaving the site clean, safe and fully operational

Outcome

· Successfully installed and commissioned the PMV system within the two-week programme

· Enhanced pressure monitoring capability across the network, supporting improved operational control

· Delivered all works safely and to a high standard of quality

· Seamless integration with the existing network, with no issues during commissioning

· Demonstrated efficient delivery of critical infrastructure upgrades within a constrained timeframe
