Severn Trent Searches employees create a community sensory garden
Members of Severn Trent Searches, who provide searches and reports for conveyancing, have been busy creating a sensory garden for locals near their office in Nottingham.
The sensory garden is located at St. John the Evangelist Church in Annesley – a stone’s throw from where the Severn Trent Searches team is based.
Proactively investing in asset infrastructure to boost resilience
This case study describes how our Infrastructure Services teams spotted an opportunity to improve water asset infrastructure to protect future water supplies in a way that avoided disturbing the ecological balance of the local watercourse.
The
customer
site
The site is a stream between a water treatment works and a town populated by around 20,000 people. The works is a private water network owned by our customer and managed 24/7/365 by our multidisciplinary Severn Trent Services teams.
Uninterrupted Water Supply for 20,000 Customers Despite a Major Burst
Read how our teams worked around the clock to ensure thousands of properties were unaffected by a burst pipe expelling around 250 cubic metres of water an hour.
The
customer
site
This case study refers to a treatment works we manage for a customer that supplies treated water to domestic and commercial properties. Every day our team performs critical activities
to ensure a consistent supply of water 24/7/365.
The
problem
In February 2023, a large burst resulted in around 250 tonnes of water per hour escaping from a three-mile strategic water supply pipe between two reservoirs.
Despite the burst being located and repaired within three hours, it was so severe that it emptied a large reserve of water held in a balance tank. This water would ordinarily keep the treatment process flowing, so the knock-on effect threatened to jeopardise our ability to produce treated water for a population of around 20,000 people.
And what’s more, with air now trapped within the pipeline, the race was on to bleed the pipes before supplies ran dry.
