Easter Weekend Emergency Response

Over a busy Easter weekend, R2M was called out to a complex failure on a DN 450 pipeline that needed to be isolated, cut back and replaced fast.

Thanks to our 24/7 Emergency Service procedures, all required materials were immediately available and delivered to site, including DN 450 End Restraint Couplings & Flange Adaptors, a 90° Bend, 800mm Stub Flanges and the matching bolts and gaskets.

The customer praised the speed and efficiency of the response, noting that providing this level of service during a bank holiday was exceptional.

This is exactly the kind of fast and reliable support our 24/7 emergency service is designed to deliver to ensure critical water infrastructure issues are resolved quickly.
