Upgrade of existing potable water main and trunk main, supply to a drinking water tower.
The project called for the installation of 250 DICL pipework along the verge of Middle street with numerous road crossings and interconnections into existing infrastructure.
Challenges involved with this project included, working within school zones and minimising the affect on both the school and the local bus routes, the alignment of the new pipeline was inside the protection zone of established trees. These sections of pipe were installed by directional drilling in order to prevent disturbance to the root systems and affecting the health of the tree. Multiple cut ins were required to be carried out simultaneously by Chris Buckley Plumbing, having the capability to resource this without affecting the productivity of our other projects.
