Description
This expenditure is for seven pinch valves, and 5 electric valve actuators, plus their installation. These valves are used in the headworks building and are used with the grit pumping system. Grit is a difficult material to pump since it is a thick slurry of sand, seeds, and other dense particles. The pinch valves are specialty valves that allow closing without binding when used with a grit slurry. These valves must be present so that the grit pumps can be removed from service for maintenance or replacement. The anticipated functional life of the equipment is 20 years.
