Wachs Receives Water Network Programme Contract Extension

Wachs Water Services has received a contract extension from the City of Atlanta in Georgia, US, to assess, test and survey thousands of valves and fire hydrants throughout the city’s water network.

As part of its joint venture with Brindley Pieters and Associates, Wachs will assist in improving and rehabilitating Atlanta’s vital water distribution system assets and control points.

The services provided by the joint venture include asset location, operational condition assessment and GPS location mapping of critical water assets.

The ongoing programme in Atlanta is focused on improving water main valve and fire hydrant operability, which will enable the utility to better respond to water main breaks.

It also aims to achieve a high level of operational control of the water network and pinpoint repair and replacement of water distribution assets more effectively.
