Case Studies

Client Essex and Suffolk Water
Location Rayleigh and Southend
Type of Contract Distribution Rehabilitation Feasibility Study
Problem Prioritisation and Distribution System Study
Benefits Integrated and Prioritised Rehabilitation program
Outcome The final outcome, a renovation package by DMA with a detailed proposal in digitally mapped format, ready for detailed design and contract preparation.

Essex and Suffolk Water required a new approach to renovation programme development. We integrated all the main features of good renovation programme development under one study. Initial system element study involved condition grading, pipe characterisation, pipe sampling, historical record evaluation, and leakage study. Rehabilitation proposals were developed and refined to conform as close as possible with re engineered system design, taking account of system hydraulics, redundancy, development needs and pressure management.
