Burroughs provided Drainage Design, Principal Designer, NEC Supervisor and Project and Contract Administration services for the scheme.

Maerdy Distribution Zonal Study (DZS) resulted in the detailed design of over 30km of potable water main pipeline replacement up to 450mm diameter within congested streets using a variety of materials and installation techniques.

Devon & Somerset Fire and Rescue Service (DSFRS) identified the need to review and remediate the drainage systems at all of its fire stations in order to comply with current water authority regulations.

Burroughs have been engaged on behalf of Southend Airport to review their existing drainage infrastructure, installed under a D&B contract, in terms of discharge quality compliance and management of Glycol de-icing fluids. The project comprised the detailed assessment of contributing drained areas, active Glycol operations, system surveying and review of operational procedures. There was a concern regarding the potential of accidental discharge of de-icing contaminated surface water to SSSI rated receiving water courses, that the Client wished to pro-actively address.

To ensure Usk Farm is within the standards set within the Regulations, significant upgrading and remediation of the existing surface water and combined sewer drainage network was required. The project was split into two phases, Phase One being the surface water network and Phase Two being the combined sewer network.
