Water Mains
Water mains are the sole means of distributing potable water from the water source to the customer. They also serve as the primary means of fire protection for residential homes, businesses, schools and other public buildings within a municipality.
It is critical that water mains are properly maintained and rehabilitated and/or replaced at the end of their useful life or as required by changes in hydraulics within the water distribution system.
Tata & Howard provides a full range of services relative to water main design and construction administration services. We provide full design services including permitting and bidding. In addition to conventional water main design, our design work has included alternative methods of water main construction including directional drilling and pipe bursting and rehabilitation of existing water main infrastructure including cleaning and cement lining. Other water main projects have included crossings of wetlands, waterways, bridges and railroads. During construction, our resident observers provide the client with support from the construction site through the successful completion of the project.
