Velta delivered the 5.8km potable water trunk main upgrade for Welsh Water, with 3km crossing agricultural land and 2.8km running along the A4050 Port Road – a key route between Barry and Cardiff.

We overcame numerous challenges, including working around high-profile, security-sensitive assets and managing the safe removal of existing asbestos mains. Our advanced techniques, including vacuum excavation and horizontal directional drilling maintained safety and efficiency.

Proactive engagement with multiple landowners was critical to the project’s success, ensuring we stayed on schedule and minimised disruption. We maintained strict water hygiene standards throughout alongside full compliance with environmental and archaeological requirements.

This high-profile project was completed on time, within budget, and with zero incidents, demonstrating Velta’s expertise and commitment to safe, efficient delivery.
