Contract Value: $200,000

Contract Period: 8 weeks

Challenges and Solutions

Installing a pressure relief valve system in an active residential area posed a unique set of challenges. Ensuring minimal disruption to surrounding communities and meeting stringent environmental and safety standards was a top priority. Leveraging our experience in water and wastewater infrastructure, Cinc Whelan Electrical adopted a streamlined approach to planning and execution, allowing for efficient installation within tight deadlines.

The underground flow meter installation and remote monitoring system further enhanced the project’s value, providing Unitywater with real-time data access and control without the need for on-site management, an essential feature for large-scale water networks.

Technical Implementation

The successful execution of the Warner Temporary PRV project highlights our team’s comprehensive capabilities:

Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) Installation: A critical component to regulate pressure in water pipelines, preventing potential damage.

Custom-Built Cabinet: Designed to house and protect the PRV, ensuring durability and easy access for maintenance.

Underground Flow Meter: Installed to provide accurate readings of water flow, crucial for system efficiency.

Remote Monitoring: Implemented for offsite data collection and control, significantly reducing operational costs and on-site interventions.

These technical solutions not only fulfilled the immediate project requirements but also enhanced long-term operational efficiency for Unitywater.
