Wilkinson Environmental Ltd can provide pipeline pressure testing for a variety of of pipework and pressurised systems, including rising main and gravity sewers.
After the installation or repair of any sewer, drain or pipeline system it should be tested for leaks. Newly laid and existing drainage pipeline systems can be pressure tested by a variety of means from air testing to water testing on both positive and negative pressure tests on any size pipe. Pull through stoppers can also be used to isolate sections of pipework to determine which joint is leaking.
Wilkinson environmental have also developed a unique Air Joint Testing System, incorporating a camera which allows pipe joints to be quickly located and tested. The flexible construction and guide wheels allow the Air Joint Pipe Tester to be pushed around bends and over displaced joints. The mounted camera allows the operator to see the exact location of the joint before testing commences.
The Air Joint Testing System allows long sections of pipeline to be pressure tested quickly and accurately saving time and money. The system allows you to both test and view pipe diameters from 100mm – 525mm (225+mm joint testers have wheel attached for easy positioning).
BUILD OVER SURVEYS
Extending your house or building a home extension or garage?
Any building or groundworks can affect underground sewer pipes and sewer connections within your property’s boundaries. Since water utility companies took ownership of all shared sewers in 2010, all homeowners and property developers planning to build over or close to a public sewer (within 3 metres) need to gain permission from their local sewerage company and provide a Build Over Survey. This is required under Building Regulations 2010 part 4
Wilkinson Environmental offers a complete service for Build Over Surveys including a scaled plan showing the position of the sewer line, a CCTV survey of the sewer line in question (detailing any faults) plus a follow up drainage survey and engineers report detailing any observations and recommendations. Most importantly the Build Over Survey provides proof that you have not caused any damage to the sewers and there are no issues with the drain before you start.
SEWER ADOPTION
Are you a developer with a building or housing site with existing drainage on it? Have the drains been adopted by the local water company?
If your local water company has not adopted your private drains you could be liable for extensive maintenance and repair bills, should problems arise, as they are your responsibility.
As a private drain owner, you also need to consider the environmental impact of sewer failure. For example, are you polluting the environmental unknowingly? When a private sewer system fails, foul effluent can pollute the local environment for which there are substantial fines for.
As waste water consultants at Wilkinson Environmental we assist private property owners and commercial building developers get their sewers adopted by the local water authorities. We are also specialists in new sewer connections, sewer repairs and can provide CCTV drain surveys and sewer cleaning services throughout Warwickshire the Midlands and the UK.
