Project Requirements
The scheme required the replacement of ageing water infrastructure using a combination of pipe bursting and open-cut techniques while maintaining customer supplies and minimising disruption.
What We Did
JPS Utilities completed detailed site investigations and trial holes before commencing works. Our team managed customer engagement, implemented traffic management measures and installed temporary bypass arrangements to maintain network operation throughout construction.
Using both pipe bursting and open-cut methods, we installed new sections of HPPE barrier pipe and completed 29 service transfers. The project concluded with pressure testing, chlorination, sampling and comprehensive reinstatement works including carriageways, footpaths, tracks and landscaping.
The Outcome
The upgraded network provides improved reliability, enhanced water quality protection and increased resilience for customers across the Kilpatrick Drive area.
