New 710mm water pipe

RADIUS Systems has been selected to supply 710mm dark blue PE for a prestigious new water supply main near Reading, UK – a 7km scheme for Thames Water. Contractor Murphy Group selected PE over ductile iron due to its expertise in this field. The installation was in a high water table area, close to a water course, and running across fields in some sections, so long lengths of butt-fused PE proved advantageous. The installation is part of Thames Water’s ongoing investment in its water network.
