Utility infrastructure

Water

Water mains, services and high-pressure provision from route preparation through connection, testing, chlorination and commissioning.

Large-diameter water pipe installation

Mains to commissioning.

The capability

A clear scope.
Properly connected.

Water infrastructure is delivered as a complete route through the site: the enabling civils, the main or service installation, the network connection and the tests required before commissioning.

The final scope is defined around the approved network design, pressure requirements, connection method, temporary arrangements and the responsibilities of the adopting or operating authority.

Detailed provision

What the scope can include.

Every project is agreed against its design, network, workfront and handover responsibilities.

Mains and services

New water infrastructure for developments, commercial sites and network works.

  • Water mains
  • Service pipework
  • High-pressure applications
  • Fittings and valves
  • Commercial and development connections

Network interventions

Work around existing supplies and connection points.

  • Mains diversions
  • New mains connections
  • Service connections
  • Temporary bypass systems
  • Coordination with network operations

Civils around the main

The physical workfront needed to install and connect the pipework.

  • Excavation and trenching
  • Crossings and chambers
  • Pipe bedding and surround
  • Backfill and compaction
  • Reinstatement

Testing and commissioning

The activities required to prove and place the installed system into service.

  • Pressure testing
  • Flushing
  • Chlorination
  • Commissioning support
  • Test and handover records

Project integration

Designed around the workfront.

Plan the network interface

Confirm the route, pressure requirement, connection point, temporary supply needs and commissioning responsibilities.

Install the infrastructure

Coordinate the civils, main or service installation, fittings, valves and connection workfront.

Prove and commission

Complete the agreed pressure testing, flushing, chlorination and handover activities.

Close-out

Information that travels with the work.

The handover requirement is agreed for the specific package. Depending on the scope, it can include:

  • Pressure-test records
  • Chlorination information
  • Commissioning records
  • Photographic records
  • Project-specific as-built information

Straight answers

Common project questions.

Does the Water provision include high-pressure work?

Yes. High-pressure water provision is included, with the exact system, material, connection and competence requirements confirmed for each project.

Can temporary bypass systems be included?

Temporary bypass arrangements can form part of the agreed scope where the network and project requirements call for them.

Are pressure testing and chlorination included?

They can be included alongside flushing and commissioning, with the exact acceptance criteria set by the project and network requirements.

Can TMRF deliver the surrounding civils?

Yes. Excavation, crossings, bedding, backfill, compaction and reinstatement can be coordinated with the Water package.
