Water Flow Testing

Zanetto Civil can carry out water flow testing on new infrastructure, new subdivisions or any developments where required.

Using the latest equipment our tests are reliable and consistent, giving our water authorities, civil contractors, engineers and plumbers, quality testing and reporting on water mains, connections, hydrants and fire systems.

Zanetto Civil offers butt welding for HDPE piping using a fusion welder.

Two pipe pieces are held by a clamping device, and once clamped, the ends are ‘faced’ with a machining tool to establish a clean and parallel mating surface, perpendicular to the centreline of each pipe.

A heating plate is inserted between the faced ends, and the pipes are drawn together against it, which forms a melt pattern that penetrates into both pipe ends. Once the correct temperature is reached, the heating plate is quickly removed, and the heated ends are carefully moved together with a specific amount of force. This force must be continuous and held until the new joint cools and solidifies.

Zanetto Civil can provide bed boring services with rigid drilling rods for a range of utilities.

This method is used in tight ground conditions, as the rods do not vary from their path. Although the rods are rigid, they can be steered a small amount to change the alignment or grade to manoeuvre around.

Bed boring allows for under-road boring up to 35m in length, and accommodating pipe sizes of up to 150mm in sewer, stormwater, irrigation and communications systems. Greater hole diameter/s can be achieved in shorter lengths.
