Water Supply Pipe Replacement

What you need to know about having your existing water supply pipe replaced

When it comes to water supply pipe replacement, rather than digging trenches, the trenchless technology we utilise offers a modern and effective solution. The main benefits are that our process is quick, efficient, and minimises costs associated with replacing below ground lead water pipes.

Using impact moling, we can accurately create underground channels without the need for extensive excavation of long trenches. Using this moling method, the new pipe work can be easily pulled through, eliminating the need for disruptive digging that can disturb driveways, gardens, and patios. We only require a small number of entry and exit pits to launch the pneumatic equipment into the ground, enabling horizontal boring between the excavations and is often the most cost effective option for installing a new water supply pipe as it is less labour intensive.

Material Disadvantages

Other traditional materials used for water supply pipes in the UK, such as iron, galvanized steel, copper, and black alkathene, have their disadvantages when compared to MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene):

Material disadvantages

• Iron pipes are prone to corrosion and rust, leading to leaks and poor flow and water quality issues.

• Galvanized steel pipes are susceptible to corrosion over time, reducing their lifespan and potentially causing water discoloration.

• Copper pipes are expensive, and their installation requires skilled labour. They can also be subject to pinhole leaks and corrosion in certain water conditions.

• Black alkathene pipes, although widely used in the past, have lower durability compared to MDPE. They can be prone to brittleness, cracking, and degradation when exposed to UV radiation or harsh environmental conditions.

MDPE Advantages

MDPE pipes offer several benefits over traditional materials. They are highly durable, resistant to corrosion, and have a long lifespan. MDPE pipes are also flexible, making installation easier and faster. Additionally, they are cost-effective and provide a reliable water supply with excellent water quality.

Efficiency

Installing a new combi boiler requires the right water pressure to work efficiently. An old water main may hinder the performance of your boiler.

By replacing your water supply pipe with MDPE, you can experience improved water quality, lower energy bills, and optimum water flow. Contact Pipeline Services today to speak with our dedicated team and take the first step toward upgrading your water supply.
