Industrial Insulation, Birmingham
Jade Insulation was contracted to complete the industrial insulation for all pipework on the newly constructed Frankley WTW as part of the Birmingham Resilience Project.
The initial enquiry came in the form of 3D modelling; this was used alongside site surveys to quantify and verify site information by our skilled estimating team to provide a comprehensive tender covering all aspects of the project.
Water Treatment Facilities
The WTW today comprises two parallel process treatment streams fed from an off-site and an on-site reservoir, both supplied with water from the Elan Valley. The current treatment processes have evolved from the original sand filters. They now comprise much more modern treatment processes, including dissolved air floatation (DAF), rapid gravity filters (RGFs), granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration, and pH correction.
Treated water is disinfected with chlorine. The GAC plant is dedicated to one stream, following the RGFs, and enables blended river water treatment capability but not raw river water treatment capability.
The scope of the project is to provide trace heating and insulation to the following:-
- New Clarification Sand Blasted Lamellas(SBL) process pipework.
- Rapid Gravity Filters (RGF)
- Sludge Treatment Plant
