Guidance for the Selection of Water Supply Pipes to be used in Brownfield Sites

Price: £50


Ref: 10/WM/03/21
ISBN: 1 84057 569 7
Published: 2010

With an increasing number of brownfield sites being used for development, it is important that appropriate water supply pipes are selected to provide long term protection to both water quality and structural integrity of pipes. The focus of this project is the development of clear and concise procedures which provide consistency in the pipe selection decision process. Published data and water industry experience on the impacts of different contaminants on pipe materials have been used to provide guidance that can be used by relevant parties to ensure compliance with current regulations; and to prevent water supply pipelines failing prematurely due to the presence of contamination.
