Key Trade Contract...
Following a rigorous Health, Safety and Environment audit carried out by Laing O`Rourke, Powerrun Project Management Ltd has been approved to undertake mechanical installation works for Laing O`Rourke Infrastructure for a period of 3-years. Our Key Contractor Accreditation status follows the successful completion of various Pipework Fabrication and Mechanical Installation projects for Laing O`Rourke as part of their Yorkshire Water AMP4 Framework agreement. The recent subcontract works with a combined value in excess of £750K included schemes at Nutwell W.T.W and Harrogate South & Knostrop W.w.T.W.

Thames Water Utili...
Phase 2 of the Coppermills W.T.W. scheme is now underway with the Powerrun site team currently installing the lower manifold section of the new Shaft D Pump Station pipework. This phase of the works, which is due to run until March of next year comprises of 1800/1400 diameter mild steel FBE coated pipework with associated control valves and pump sets.  

Birse Coastal - Bl...
Birse Coastal has recently awarded us a pipework supply and mechanical installation package as part of the £70-million Blackpool Sea Defences Scheme. The project comprises of 600/400 diameter discharge pipework fabrication and associated mechanical installation including 6 number Flygt type electro-submersible pump sets, valves and inlet penstocks for the newly constructed Intermediate and Manchester Square Pump Stations. Completion of the works is expected to be in December of this year.

Why Fabricated Steel Pipework?

• Historically the UK water and sewage industry has looked towards traditional ductile iron materials to solve its process pipework needs. However, whilst in many instances this is still the most suitable and economical option, serious consideration should be given to the fabricated mild steel alternative, which can offer several significant advantages.

• The availability and cost of large diameter ductile iron pipework and fittings can sometimes prove prohibitive. In many cases the equivalent component can be fabricated in mild steel materials resulting in improved lead times and offering significant cost savings.

• The number of individual ductile iron fittings required to achieve a complex pipework configuration can be excessive, resulting in increased bolt set costs and on site assembly charges. Mild steel offers the distinct advantage of rationalising several flanged fittings into one single common fabrication. This reduces the number of flanged joints, bolt set and gasket costs and valuable on site installation time. The mild steel solution is particularly useful for the construction of pump discharge manifolds, complicated crossover connections and valve chamber piepwork.

• Mild steel is versatile and allows the addition of flanged branches, tie flanges, puddle flanges, supports and small-bore instrumentation connections at minimal time and cost.

• On site modifications to accommodate dimensional inaccuracies of structures, design errors and design changes are easily undertaken with mild steel materials.

• Individual mild steel pipe spools can be supplied as a single piece fabrication up to 12-metres in length (and longer).
