We provide drinking water wherever it is needed, including food processing operations MADETA
Recently, we were involved in an important project at MADETA, Planá nad Lužnicí operation, where we focused on the modification of the valve shaft No. 318A at C-ENEGRY. Our main objective was to ensure 100% backup for the drinking water supply, which is crucial for the smooth operation of the plant.
Prior to the actual work, we took careful measurements in this shaft to ensure that there were no shock events caused by the step change in the Madeta plant’s withdrawal. In the past, a 15 m³ pressure vessel was installed here to cover surges during peak withdrawals. Our measurements confirmed that the fears of shock loading on the feeder from Chotýčany did not materialise and we were able to proceed with the reconstruction.
As part of the project, we supplemented the existing system by adding a second pressure reducing valve that can be used immediately in the event of an emergency. The focal point was a cut in the DN 300 pipe and the welding of a new DN 200 bypass branch. This complex process required the water main to be shut down and drained, which was particularly challenging due to the location of the manhole in the middle of a waterlogged field where we used a tractor-trailer to transport the material.
The entire implementation, including the supply and installation of the fittings and stainless steel pipe, was provided by our company HUTIRA. Cooperation with the South Bohemian Water Supply Association was essential for the coordination of shutdowns and handling of the water supply. Thanks to our expertise and experience, we were able to successfully provide 100% backup for the supply of drinking water to our clients.
