Valves for Water Supply Projects in the UK

The UK water infrastructure is undergoing transformative upgrades, and Metalsin is proud to play a vital role in this evolution. As Anglian Water embarks on one of Europe’s largest environmental projects by developing a new drinking water grid across the East of England, our range of pressure reducing valves and gate valves is designed to meet stringent British standards and ensure safe, efficient water distribution.

Modern water infrastructure projects demand robust, dependable valves that not only adhere to rigorous British standards—such as BS EN 1567 for pressure reducing valves and BS 5163 for gate valves—but also deliver consistent performance under varying pressure conditions; at Metalsin, our valves are engineered using advanced materials and precision engineering to minimize leakage and ensure efficient, safe water delivery across extensive underground pipeline networks, a critical feature for large-scale projects like Anglian Water’s new drinking water grid, where our pressure reducing valves stabilize downstream water pressure despite pipeline fluctuations and our gate valves provide secure pipeline isolation for maintenance and safety without compromising system integrity, even when spanning hundreds of kilometres during peak demand periods.

With the UK water industry evolving to meet the challenges of climate change and a growing population, robust and sustainable valve solutions have never been more critical; Metalsin‘s valves not only ensure consistent performance under varying working conditions but also contribute to a greener, more resilient water supply system, as demonstrated by Anglian Water’s ambitious project to create one of Europe’s largest drinking water grids that stretches hundreds of kilometres from North Lincolnshire to Essex, setting a new benchmark for water infrastructure and reinforcing our commitment to delivering valves that are built to last and perform under the most demanding conditions.
