There is a growing Water Industry requirement for 'off-site' manufacturing in order to reduce 'on-site' health and safety risk, speed up installation time and reduce disruption to the general public, whilst also helping to reduce 'on-site' costs. This fits perfectly with the Eliquo Hydrok approach to the design and bespoke manufacturing of engineered solutions for the industry.
Stainless steel fabrication
Stainless steel fabrication has always been a part of the Eliquo Hydrok service delivery and is used for all our CSO screens. The more recent requirements have seen complete stainless steel chambers with the MecMex or Peak CSO screens pre-installed enabling a simple installation process to be introduced.
Off-site manufacture
An 'off-site' manufacturing process can be used for storm tanks with Eliquo Hydrok Tipping Buckets. They are built in our own factory within supporting frames, and delivered for simple quick installation.
CWF Storm Flush 'Flushing Bell' systems can also be made in this way, as can the Eliquo Hydrok Water Treatment Processes solutions, which can be tailored to requirements in the factory, before being delivered and installed.
A Tertiary Filtration Mecana pile cloth media filtration tank can be built and installed as a complete unit.
The same principle applies to the HY-SAF package treatment plant using the Eliquo Hydrok IFAS system.
Where aeration solutions are required the fine bubble diffusers can be in-built into frames ready to be lowered into the tanks and connected. If the IFAS route, combining diffusers with cloth media filtration, is the best solution then the IFAS cages system can be utilised as for the retrofit for Thames Water at Deephams.
All the IFAS cages are built at the factory as concertina systems for ease of delivery which then open up to full size when installed. This makes installation an efficient process and reduces the number of deliveries to the site as more can be fitted on a lorry.
