Building a reputation in a critical area
In an era of growing concern about the water supply/demand balance, May Gurney Utility Services is enhancing its reputation for the integrated delivery of strategic pipeline projects to strengthen water supply networks across the UK.
In the south east - where concerns about security of supply to customers are most acute - Utility Services is supporting Mid Kent Water on 11 pipeline projects.
These include projects at Kingston to Canterbury (7.1km of 400mm PE new lay), Finwell to Cranbrook (6 km of 500mm DI new lay) and Mathen to Stocks (5.6km of 355mm PE). All are being carried out to demanding timescales and with a requirement to minimise disruption to stakeholders.
May Gurney has used 'No Dig' technology where possible to reduce traffic and social disruption, and environmental damage. For example, when a new pipeline had to cross the busy A2 dual carriageway, guided auger boring eliminated the need for trenching.
For South West Water, Utility Services has also been busy with projects at Great Hills (rehabilitation of 8.4km of 350mm mains) and KTT to Dunchideock (11.4km of 500mm new lay) - both of which are now complete. A third scheme is about to commence at Northcombe (5.2km of 500mm new lay including a No Dig crossing of the A39).
With Cambridge Water, new work has commenced on reinforcement of the water supply network and diversions relating to the A428 near Cambridge, which include over 5km of new lay up to 450mm.
Work to ensure that the volume of water distributed into the networks is accurately monitored is being undertaken for Anglian Water. The project - to install new flowmeters on a variety of pipelines including 1000mm and 800mm diameter at a water treatment works - is being carried out by May Gurney's specialist M&E Services team.
"It is important that we understand the needs of our long-term clients, and offer a service that helps them achieve their business objectives," says Tim Read, Utility Services Managing Director. "Particularly where the movement of water across their networks is likely to become critical in the future.
"By combining skills across our business we can offer an integrated approach covering civil engineering, pipe-laying, pipeline rehabilitation, No-Dig operations, M&E services and water network expertise.
"This enables schemes to be built to time, with the minimum of disruption to other stakeholders - and in the most cost effective manner."
