Water Mains Swabbing

Briton Water Hygiene and Solutions provides effective cleaning to all loose deposits, slimes, and other residues from the interior of water supply mains that form part of the authority's water distribution system.

Water mains swabbing can be vital to the commissioning of a new water mains. BRITON provides mains swabbing from 63mm to 200+mm (See table below). Water mains swabbing serves two purposes, to clean debris as well as remove air form the pipeline.

Briton also provides CCTV inspection before swabbing the main (>100mm internal diameter) thus will ensure that no foreign material or not fully opened valve will minimize the risk of a failure to exit.


Water Mains Commissioning & Pressure Testing

BRITON offers independent water mains commissioning and pressure testing to your requirements. With the collaboration of advanced technology, the use of pressure data logger provides a time frame scenario during the activity.

The main purpose of this activity is to ensure that there in no leaks coming out from the pipeline fittings and joints. One of the more unlikely safety risks was structural failure as the pipeline and supporting structure was being dynamically loaded and operated for the first time.

Briton provides a systematic procedure on every testing that are suited within the requirements.

Briton Water Hygiene Solutions core services include:

Constant pressure test (water loss method) – PVC, DI, GRP, and steel pipelines

Pressure decay test for PE pipe larger than DN200 or longer than 250m

Pressure rebound test for PE up to DN 200


Water Tank Cleaning & Chlorination

Although many components of a water system are buried and out of sight, water tanks may find standing tall on surface ground, inside, above, or under the building. However, like all parts of a water distribution system, storage tanks need to be properly maintained to help ensure safe, clean drinking water.

We provide tank pump-out and high-pressure cleaning by certified confined space technicians, once clean outs complete, we offer refill and testing as required. We also have trained divers as an option to do inspection with all their gear and clothes thoroughly disinfected before they set foot in the tank.

Cleaning can help prolong a tank's life, particularly when it comes to its protective coating. Regular tank maintenance also keeps the tank in service longer than if no repairs were done. Tanks with cathodic protection should be cleaned and disinfected every five years, according to the National Fire Protection Association. However, if a tank doesn't have cathodic protection, cleaning and disinfection should occur every three years.

Effective maintenance is key to identifying issues early and responding to adverse conditions promptly to ensure distribution system water quality and quantity.

We provide one-off and routine sampling and testing of potable water systems, including storage tanks, private reservoirs or your bore supply. With our portable testing kit, results can be given to our customers in a short time.
