Advanced Valve Technologies (AVT), and its UK distributor R2M Ltd. have provided AVT EZ Valve™ Kits to South West Water allowing the company to take a major step forward in controlling burst situations and reducing service interruptions to customers. With the strategic decision to acquire these kits from R2M Ltd, South West Water operatives now have the ability to quickly install valves using their own resources.

The award-winning AVT EZ Valve is a unique, patented inline valve that allows installation under pressure, enabling faster restoration than alternative solutions, preserving pipe integrity, and permitting installation to be carried out under full pressure with no need to shut off the water supply. The kits purchased by SWS include an innovative machine that mills a small 120° slot in the top of the pipe, eliminating the need to cut a coupon or remove a section of the pipeline.

“We are pleased to help South West Water improve its internal capabilities for managing potential interruptions to supply using our award-winning inline valve,” says AVT President Harry Gray. “We designed the AVT EZ Valve Kits to put our technology in the hands of companies that need it. As the first water company in the UK to take advantage of this innovation, South West Water is in a position to respond swiftly to emergency situations and better manage its supply interruption outcomes.”

New valve technology trialled by Yorkshire Water to help repair leaks and reduce supply interruptions

   |   By  |  0 Comments

Yorkshire Water has trialled a new innovative valve technology designed to reduce supply interruptions to customers when water pipe repair work is carried out.

The new technology, known as EZ Valve, means that water does not have to be re-zoned when carrying out repairs, which will result in less supply interruptions and discolouration issues.

Typically, water main repair involves rezoning several kilometres of water pipes or temporarily shutting off supply before damaged pipework can be isolated, clamped and fixed. However, the new rubber valve technology means that small sections of pipework can now be controlled to close off water flow, which will allow for pinpoint repairs of leaks and bursts without having to interfere with customers’ water supply or disrupt the network.

The trial was carried out in Harrogate with the valve installed by R2M Site Services, working for contract partner Morrision Utility Services.

Adrian Roberts, field technician at Yorkshire Water, said: “Through speaking to customers we recognise the impact interrupting water supplies can cause and so we aim to reduce average supply interruptions customers experience each year to just two minutes by 2025. The trial of this new valve technology which can be inserted under pressure, if successful, could result in proving to be very useful to help meet this target.”

Yorkshire Water aims to reduce its leakage rates by 40 per cent by 2025 to make it an industry leader. To help achieve this, over 30,0000 acoustic loggers are currently being fitted by the firm into its pipe network that will enable data scientists to listen to the flow of water and detect audio signals that highlight discrepancies that indicate a leak or a burst. This new approach by the firm is part of improving visibility and creating a CALM network to combat the issue of pressure surges.
