UltraGrip Amplified for Ise Valley, Stanton Cross

Viking Johnson UltraGrip Amplified DN700’s have been specified and installed at Stanton Cross on a new housing development near Wellingborough to repair an existing sewage mains which burst over the Christmas period in 2022. As a temporary measure 540 metres of overground piping was installed to handle the sewage while repairs were made to the existing 1970’s pipe network.

Four Viking Johnson UltraGrip Amplified DN700 flange adaptors were chosen by Anglian Water One Alliance for the project to rejoin corroded ductile iron pipe sections where the pipe network work on the estate changes direction.

UltraGrip is ideal for this type of work, and easily met the requirements for the 6 bar pipework rating for this repair project and as it is a restrained fitting allowed the contractor to remove and not replace expensive thrust blocks. The installation was also quick and easy.

"It has worked perfectly. There is a cost benefit of course, we would have been thrust blocking - time saved us probably a week plus a lot smaller excavation. Also our carbon footprint is a lot lower. This joint is perfect, worked lovely, it’s all gone to plan."
