Institute of Water: Drilling and Tapping Competition

No drips allowed at annual water skills contest

Water engineers will be put under pressure at the annual Institute of Water 22nd Drilling and Tapping Championships.

The contest challenges contestants to pit their precision skills against their peers. Contestants will be hoping for no unexpected showers as they bid to be crowned national champions by successfully drilling and tapping a high pressure water main. Points will be awarded for speed, precision and the absence of leaks.

The winning team will go on to represent the UK at the America Water Works Association competition in the USA.

The pair will drill and tap a 150mm diameter ductile iron main under pressure at 40-70psi and connect a service tap. The challenge will be complete once water discharges from the tap but teams will be penalised for leaks and breaches of safety and technical rules.
