Weholite components were designed, manufactured and prefabricated at Asset’s South Wales factory, only 30 minutes’ drive from the site, ensuring rapid delivery and valuable time-saving for the main contractor. Asset’s involvement in the project lasted from October to the end of December 2015. Rhys Williams, technical sales engineer at Asset described how the team delivered the project: “During the planning process – and every subsequent stage of the project – we provided a full and detailed design service, technical support and advice to ensure everything ran smoothly. “We also supplied a site services team to assist BAM Nuttall, to conduct extrusion jointing, using our latest specialist equipment. Following successful installation we passed the project on to mechanical and electrical contractors.”

contractor BAM Nuttall conduct on-site extrusion jointing, using Asset’s latest specialist equipment. The company provided BAM Nuttall with an extensive array of inter-process pipework – measuring 1,000 to 1,400mm diameter – as well as complex fabrications for the Barrow Gurney works, which treats water from three reservoirs serving the city. The new UV treatment facility at Barrow Gurney accommodates both the process units themselves and the pipework and services supplying them. Weholite pipework now links these units to the rest of the treatment equipment at the site.

The designed-in versatility of Weholite products, along with step-by-step support from Asset International’s expert engineering team, played a pivotal role in a £3mn project to ensure that each day millions of gallons of clean and safe water reach the population of Bristol, UK. Asset made and supplied hundreds of metres of lightweight, durable Weholite pipework and fabrications for a new UV treatment facility at Bristol Water’s Barrow Gurney works, and backed this up with comprehensive design, technical support and advice services, to ensure smooth and successful installation. These services included the deployment of a skilled welding team to help main

In addition, Weholite fabrica- tions, modelled through FE analysis by Asset’s engineer- ing design team, were used to connect inter-process pipelines to ductile iron valves, flow meters and static mixers. The product’s versatility enables it to interface with almost any existing design. All
