• Easy to organise, Phone call and fax.
• Prompt service the UPT can usually be organised within 48 hours.
• We will work with Water Authorities, Plumbers and Contractors, especially in awkward and out of hour situations.
• The supply to the consumer is not affected.
• There is no affect to Commerce, Industrial area's or other area's that cannot have the supply withdrawn.
• A plastic sleeve is inserted into the exposed section on metallic pipes to reduce the occurrence of tuberculation.
• The integrity of the main is maintained. By Tapping Under Pressure only the size of the hole is removed from the pipe whereas by inserting a Tee a section of the main is removed and replaced with a Tee and two flexible joints that can move and cause the main to fail. The Stainless Steel flanged offtake can act like a repair clamp if the main fails at that point.
• We provide at no additional cost a written report on the visual condition of the main and the coupon removed from the main is logged and stored in case the Water Authority requires it to be tested.
• The dirty water complaints associated with recharging water mains are alleviated.
• We have a data base on all the jobs and we keep all the written report.
• Valves that have not been operated in years may fail, causing additional repair costs.
• No need to re-chlorinate mains over 200mm diameter.
• No need for staff to notify people of intending shut downs.
• Eliminates civil claims from people or businesses who have belongings or equipment damaged and say they did not receive shut down notifications. This will also reflect in Insurance premiums the Water Authority is levied.
• No consequential main damage at a later date from shutting down the main, with the older mains the reduction in pressure causes stresses and future bursts.
• Water Authority staff can be engaged in other duties.
• The Water Authority does not have to carry stock as Allflow provide it all, thus reducing the amount and cost of stock carried.
• No chance of foreign particles entering the water main and causing damage to water main fittings and consumer appliances.
• Maximum loss of 8 litres of water lost through UPT compared to vast amounts of water lost through draining, recharging and chlorinating the Water Mains with old techniques?
