Process Pipework, Pumps & Valves for Water and Wastewater Sites
As a Tier 2 MEICA subcontractor, Woodhams delivers complete mechanical installation packages for Tier 1 framework partners and water companies. Our teams install and modify process pipework, pumping equipment and valves on live treatment works, with the pipe supports and access steelwork fabricated in our own workshop so the whole package is delivered by one team.
What a Woodhams pipework package covers
- Process pipework in carbon steel, stainless steel and plastics, including high-level runs and elevated pipe racks
- Duty/standby and variable-speed pump installation – progressive cavity, submersible and centrifugal units
- Isolation, non-return and air valves, penstocks and flow control devices such as hydrobrakes
- Balancing tank, storm tank and inlet works connections
- Humus and primary settlement tank pipework and weir modifications
- Sludge and return liquors pipework
- Mechanical interfaces between new equipment and existing treatment assets
- Bespoke pipe supports and access steelwork, fabricated in-house
Working on live treatment works
Almost every water site we work on stays in service while we are there. Our installation teams plan and sequence work around live process flows, temporary pumping, low-flow windows and agreed outage periods, so that treatment continuity, Flow to Full Treatment and discharge consent compliance are protected throughout. Where sites include hazardous areas, our teams are experienced in MEICA installation within ATEX zones, including sludge treatment centres.
All site staff hold NVQ and CSCS qualifications, and every package is run by a dedicated Woodhams project manager with clear weekly reporting to the client and site operations teams.
