Project Description
South Staffordshire Water is the leading drinking water supplier in West Midlands, South Staffordshire, South Derbyshire, North Warwickshire and North Worcestershire.
South Staffordshire Water was formed in 1853 to supply water to residents of the Black Country.
The water we supply is taken from the River Severn, Blithfield Reservoir and around 26 groundwater zones located across our supply area.
On average, we supply 330million litres of water every day, dispersed through nearly 6000km of water mains.
In 2013, a merger with Cambridge Water meant an additional 319,000 people came under the South Staffs umbrella.
Cambridge Water was also formed in 1853 and supplies high-quality underground water pumped from boreholes in chalk aquifers.
Today, they are responsible for supplying 1.6 million homes and 35,000 businesses.
Our partnership with the water company means we are their approved class 1 coded welding and pipe fabricating contractor.
We completed some preventative maintenance work at their Great Barr site for this project.
We installed a new 1000mm diameter butterfly valve on the live water main.
Our class 1 welders completed all positional welds on the new prefabricated valve adapter restraints and new Dn80 flanged branches.
All work carried out as per South Staffs instructions. Like all site work, the working procedures were to all health and hygiene regulations and codes of practice.
