Reducing leakage by lowering pressures is the simplest and most immediate way of reducing water loss and demand in the network.
Installing a PRV can make substantial reductions in waste and in the majority of cases is self-financing with the offset of treated water delivery costs. In addition to the reduced leakage losses, savings may also be realised from reduced pumping frequencies, lower consumptions and fewer burst water mains.
Hydrosave is able to offer a comprehensive programme of assessment, design, installation and maintenance:
- An assessment of suitability can be carried out after the completion of both flow and pressure surveys. The surveys will then define the potential for pressure management and identify the associated water reductions and financial benefits.
- We use a standard, proven design process as the basis for implementation and installation. Our specialist associate group company, Underground Pipeline Services, then undertakes the work.
- We can also provide additional outlet control, which may also be necessary to optimise hydraulic performance. This is provided through a range of proportional flow modulation and/or timer control.
- Pressure management strategies are adopted holistically working alongside DG2 low pressure investigations and optimum pumping operations.
