MRWA approves Geopress K to help protect valuable water assets

摘要

Viega's Geopress K underground piping system has been approved by Melbourne Retail Water Agencies (MRWA) to be used in the management and protection of the city's major water resources. The announcement comes after a successful field trial with a Victorian Government owned retail water corporation that supplies around 100 billion litres of drinking water each year to customers. Engineers at City West Water, which provides drinking water, sewerage, trade waste and recycled water services in Melbourne's central business district, inner and western suburbs, describe the revolutionary system as a game changing product. "I see Geopress K as being a major player in the market and changing the way works are done," says Programmed Water Operations Manager Dylan Thomas. (Programmed provides maintenance services for City West Water across Melbourne's West.) Manufactured from first-grade Polymer materials and non-ferrous components, Geopress K is a more efficient and cost-effective method for SDR11 HDPE pipes for potable water and recycled water applications.
