Atlanta’s water network gets continous support
Wachs Water Services has been awarded a $US9.4 million contract extension to continue supporting the City of Atlanta, Georgia, US, in their efforts to assess, test and survey thousands of valves and fire hydrants throughout their water network.
One of the largest water infrastructure projects of its kind in the United States, Wachs Water Services is helping to improve and rehabilitate vital water distribution system assets and control points for the City of Atlanta as part of a joint venture with Brindley Pieters and Associates.
The ongoing program has accomplished several water system improvements to date, including achieving a high degree of water main valve operability that has set industry standards for large urban cities.
Wachs Water Services President Cliff Wilson said “Managing an aging water network requires a results-driven approach that achieves both immediate system improvements and long-term sustainability.”
The program in Atlanta is focused on improving water main valve and fire hydrant operability, enabling the utility to better respond to water main breaks, achieve a high-level of operational control of the water network, and pinpoint repair and replacement of water distribution assets more effectively.
Working with the Atlanta Department of Watershed Management, services provided by the joint venture include asset location, operational condition assessment, and GPS location mapping of critical water assets.
