WASK AquaStop Keeps the Water Flowing in Thurso, Scotland

The Thurso Pipeline Valve Replacement Project involved upgrading 11.7km of water pipe from Latheron to Lybster in the Scottish Highlands.

A cast iron water main supplying approximately 450 properties required 5 very old valves to be switched out.

The traditional approach would be to shut off the mains for each valve replacement causing water supply to stop multiple times. Instead, Scottish Water selected the WASK AquaStop bypass solution to ensure continued water supply to customers and reduce the overall installation time on site, minimising disruption, and cost.
