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
