Our team attended a strata-managed commercial property in Rosebery to investigate an ongoing water leak affecting businesses. Upon inspection, we confirmed a burst pipe beneath the building. While the leak initially stopped after new valves were installed, it later resumed, likely due to pipe movement after the valves were fitted.
Our Team:
Jackhammered and removed the concrete
Shut off the water supply to the building and drained the system
Installed a new copper water feed starting at the right-hand-side valve, surface mounting along the external wall to the front corner of the building
Continued surface mounting along the front and left-hand side of the building
Re-entered the ground at the left-hand-side valve to reconnect to the existing line
Bedded the pipe in accordance with standards
Pressure tested the new pipework
Installed steel rebar and mesh in preparation for reinstatement
Re-concreted the driveway area
Cleaned up the site and removed all trade waste
Repairing the burst pipe directly would have caused major disruption to the businesses operating within the building. Instead, we recommended and carried out a full external bypass, running a new copper water feed around the perimeter of the building. This approach allowed us to maintain full functionality with minimal interruption to the occupants.
