Notice Title

IWM/2526/FM/3483: Wet Services & P1 Water Services Repair at IWM Duxford

Notice Description

Imperial War Museums (IWM) is tendering for a contractor to undertake works to modernise and stabilise the underground cold water supply system at IWM Duxford by addressing long-standing issues such as leaks, ageing infrastructure, and poor valve accessibility. The key outcomes will include: *Improved leak detection and control through the installation of new isolation valves and hydrants on both the north and south sites. *Enhanced system reliability by replacing faulty or outdated valves and hydrants and selectively renewing corroded cast iron pipework where necessary. *Better monitoring via the installation of sub-meters at critical branches, enabling early detection of future issues. *Compliance and safety through proper disinfection, asbestos management, and adherence to environmental and health regulations. *Minimal disruption to everyday operations by scheduling water supply isolations outside normal working hours. Overall, the works will result in a more efficient, resilient, and maintainable water supply network, reducing water loss and operational risks.
