Three Valleys Water continue to purchase a range of
Locking Replacement Lids in an effort to combat the
increasing problem of defective street furniture.
FT Pipeline Systems completed a series
of street surveys in 2002 which identified the variety
of surface boxes across the Three Valleys Water Company
region. The surveying included a two-day “quick fix” programme
in North London, which removed a backlog of jobs.
The surveys identified the types of boxes present along
with picking out the problem tops, allowing the relevant
lids and quantities to be ordered.
The “quick fix” scheme in North London permanently
removed 54 jobs from the outstanding list, saving an
estimated £5500 instantly as there
was no excavation or reinstatement required.
As a result, Three Valleys Water have
equipped their Inspectors with the Locking Lids. This
initiative is causing jobs to be fixed first time at a
minimum cost, solving the problem of Section 81 defects
efficiently.
