FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT
29 October 2012
Flow control engineering group, Rotork, has announced the award of a new framework agreement....
for the supply of valve actuators to United Utilities, the UK’s largest listed water company.
Serving a population of seven million, United Utilities operates 184 reservoirs, more than 700 water and sewage treatment plants and 170,000km of pipework and sewers in an area bounded by the English Midlands, the Irish Sea, the Scottish Borders, the Pennines and the Peak District.
After a period with another electric actuator manufacturer, the move to Rotork follows the revision of the United Utilities specification for valve actuators to include a double-sealed and non-intrusive actuator enclosure.
These features, which are recognised by United Utilities as essential for long term environmental resistance, reliable performance and low maintenance, are standard design features of Rotork’s IQ and IQT intelligent electric valve actuator ranges
