Network repair and maintenance
Whether in response from a client to a burst main or from our own investigations into high usage once a leak has been located HWS(UK)ltd has the qualified expertise to excavate, repair and reinstate to the original condition. The advantage of having multi skilled teams that can locate and repair enables Hydrotech to find and fix a network leak in a single day reducing costs to our clients in both lost water and contractor time.
Permanent repairs are undertaken on mains pipes using cut out methodology; replacing the damaged section with a new length of pipe attached to the existing by couplers. Where site conditions don’t allow for water supply interruption or where site constraints limit work space clamps are used to effect repairs.
