Managing leakage

With leakage management an increasingly important and topical issue for water companies, South Staffordshire Water has awarded a new four year Operational Metering and Pressure Management Framework to May Gurney.

The contact will commence during summer 2006 and covers a range of leakage management measures, including more effective monitoring and control of South Staffordshire's water mains networks in the Midlands.

May Gurney has worked with South Staffordshire Water for the past four years on a range of water network rehabilitation, District Metering (DMA) and Pressure Reduction Valve (PRV) refurbishment projects.

The new framework will include the installation of new, and replacement and refurbishment of existing, DMA meters and PRV units. It also covers the installation of large diameter bulk water supply meters, flow monitoring probes and network pressure monitoring points.

Tim Read, May Gurney Utility Services' Managing Director, said: "It's a credit to the team in our Birmingham office that, having already delivered various water networks activities for this client, we are able to offer more services to support their future needs in the critical area of leakage management.

"The skills required for these new specialist activities include large diameter valve installation. With the range of expertise available within May Gurney I am confident we will maintain the high standards of delivery that we have already set."
