Anglian Water

Project Description

The client required a comprehensive refurbishment of an external reservoir due to the natural deterioration of the existing sealant system. Approximately 4,000 linear meters of sealant between the concrete-to-concrete slab connection joints had deteriorated, leading to the intrusion of stone and shingle into the reservoir. To address this issue, Sika was tasked with providing a solution that not only met stringent drinking water approvals but also offered technical support and product training to ensure successful application.

Project Requirements

The existing sealant system needed removing and replacing to prevent further debris intrusion into the reservoir. Additionally, the solution had to comply with BS6920-1:2014 Regulation 31 (4)(b) of the Water Supply (Water Quality) approval to ensure the safety and quality of the water supply.

Solution

A comprehensive solution was proposed, addressing both the immediate need for sealant replacement and the long-term requirement for water quality compliance. Sealants meeting the latest drinking water approvals were selected, ensuring water supply integrity. Furthermore, extensive technical support and on-site training were provided to empower the contractor with the skills necessary for future maintenance.
