The Challenge

The Gladstone Area Water Board faced a critical challenge: installing a DN600 valve within a highly restricted isolation window. The water main, servicing the entire Gladstone community, had to be shut down for the installation.

Failure to restore water on time could have led to a significant disruption, risking a town-wide outage and potential reputational damage. The project required not only technical expertise but also precise time management to ensure the community’s water supply would be safeguarded throughout the process.
