Water networks

Three services, one standard.

Every job, from a single house connection to a new main, is carried out to approved technical specifications with the same care for safety and finish.

Water pipeline extension and connection

New mains and distribution lines, laid to the drawing and tied into the live network.

What it includes

  • Trench excavation by machine, and by hand around existing services
  • Laying HDPE and other pipe types to the approved alignment and depth
  • Electrofusion and PPR welding of joints and fittings
  • Road crossings by thrust boring, without cutting the road surface
  • Warning tape, backfill in layers, and compaction
  • Tie-ins to the existing network

Under the road, not through it.

Where a line has to cross a road, we bore beneath it. The pipe is pushed through from a launch pit, the asphalt stays intact, and traffic keeps moving.

House connections

The last metres to the meter. The part of the network every household notices.

What it includes

  • Service line from the main to the property boundary
  • Meter assembly and riser at the boundary wall
  • Installation by a team certified to Nama's service-pipe specification (2024)
  • Reinstatement of the frontage, level and clean

Pipeline rehabilitation

Ageing lines brought back to sound condition, so the network runs efficiently again.

What it includes

  • Locating and exposing the existing line
  • Replacing damaged sections and fittings
  • Reconnecting the services along the line
  • Checking every joint before the trench is closed

Who we build for.

  • Water utilities

    Network extensions, house connections and repairs, built to Nama Water Services' specifications.

  • Main contractors

    Road crossings, tie-ins and house connections, as a specialist water network subcontractor.

  • Developers

    Water networks for new plots, from the main in the street to each home.

The standard on every site.

  • Approved specifications

    Materials, depths and methods follow the approved technical specification for the project.

  • Barriers and tape

    Every open trench is fenced with barriers and marked with warning tape.

  • Protective equipment

    Our site rule: hard hats, high-visibility vests and safety boots for everyone in the work area.

  • Checked on site

    Depth and alignment are measured in the trench, not assumed.

A line to lay, a house to connect, or a development in mind?
