Wolseley UK Infrastructure Conference 2026
27 February 2026
WASK were one of the primary sponsors of the Wolseley UK Infrastructure Conference on the 26th February 2026.
The Thurso Pipeline Valve Replacement Project involved upgrading 11.7km of water pipe from Latheron to Lybster in the Scottish Highlands.
A cast iron water main supplying approximately 450 properties required 5 very old valves to be switched out.
The traditional approach would be to shut off the mains for each valve replacement causing water supply to stop multiple times. Instead, Scottish Water selected the WASK AquaStop bypass solution to ensure continued water supply to customers and reduce the overall installation time on site, minimising disruption, and cost.
Please watch the video below to find out more about the project and hear from Scottish Water and MAL Civils about the real-world benefits of the WASK AquaStop.

At short notice WASK supplied 5” x 125mm PECAT adaptors to support the urgent replacement of a fractured cast iron pipe.
