EXTENDED ASSET LIFETIMES
Many water networks have been in the ground a very long time and large stretches of the mains are reaching the end of their service life. The capital expenditure required to replace these mains is simply unaffordable for most water companies. It is therefore imperative to find ways of extending the life of the mains. Water networks spend much of the time at pressures that are higher than necessary. Pipes reaching the end of their service life are particularly sensitive to pressure and asmall reduction in peak pressure can have a significant reduction in burst rate. Bringing the burst rate down can enable pipes to stay in the ground longer, thereby deferring capital expenditure. Advanced Pressure Management solutions reduces the strain on a water network's infrastructure by reducing peak pressures, and ensuring slow and smooth changes in pressure. This reduces the burst rate on pipes extending their operating life significantly
