is-style-default\">The Solution</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mb-sm wp-block-paragraph\">As part of the £1.5billion project to upgrade the A14 between Cambridge and Huntingdon, Anglian Water @one Alliance are on site carrying out diversions of 22 Anglian Water assets to facilitate the new carriageway being constructed by the A14 Integrated Delivery Team (IDT) on behalf of Highways England.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mb-sm wp-block-paragraph\">It is necessary to decommission a number of existing potable water and foul water pipelines which the new carriageway will be built over and put in place over 22km of new pipelines to ensure Anglian Water can continue to provide services to its customers in the local area well into the 21st century.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mb-sm wp-block-paragraph\">Anglian Water @one Alliance are using Viking Johnson products to carry out connections between pipeline sections and also to existing in-service pipelines on Anglian water&#8217;s network. The A14 scheme has provided the opportunity to use Viking Johnson&#8217;s new 355mm large diameter AquaFast couplings to join together PE pipe sections of over 1km long and also to connect to existing pipelines on the Anglian Water network.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mb-sm wp-block-paragraph\">AquaFast Large Diameter is a simple fit and forget installation not only designed without the need for an internal liner where one fitting can meet multiple SDRs, but also designed with a minimum number of bolts and eliminates the need for any expensive trench equipment.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mb-sm wp-block-paragraph\">Dr Tim Daly, Site Engineer for Anglian Water @one Alliance, and his team, have been pleased with how speedily the product can be fitted. The team found it easy to handle and to bolt up on site and also noted that the large sleeve was a real positive as it allows extra room to position and manoeuvre AquaFast onto the pipe.</p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"></div>\n</div>\n\n\n\t\t<section class=\"block-project-details custom-block alignfull py-sm md:py-md lg:py-xl
