Dubai Airport keeps storm water under control
Dubai International Airport (DBX) is the world’s busiest airport by international passenger traffic and the sixth busiest cargo airport in the world. Located in the Al Garhoud district, some three miles east of Dubai it plays a vital role in connecting the Emirates to the world. During January 2020, the region was hit by several days of unprecedented heavy rain fall which overwhelmed the airports storm water management system, resulting in submerged runways, taxiways, and aprons – consequently hundreds of flights were delayed or cancelled.
Engineers have been working tirelessly to upgrade the storm water management system to reduce the likelihood of future disruption during heavy rain fall events. Cheshire based T-T Flow secured the contract to supply several custom high-performance valves for the demanding environment. The scope of supply included DN600 & DN700 metal seat wedge gate valves with weld overlay seats, controllable hydraulically damped DN600 & DN700 tilting disc check valves, DN1000 double-eccentric butterfly valves and DN350 swing check valves with weld overlay seats. Additionally, the project required several non- standard bespoke-manufactured DN750 double flanged centric butterfly valves with vulcanised EPDM seat, stainless steel disc and worm gearbox.
T-T are proud to support partners in the UAE and our association with high-profile projects. Further demonstrating our ability to undertake the manufacture and supply of custom valves exceeding rigorous specifications.

Watermark Projects and Landia: New poultry wastewater installation
Watermark Projects (part of leading engineering services company, W.A Cooke & Sons) has introduced a Landia mixing system to help handle wastewater at an expanding organic poultry producer in South Wales.
Prior to the effluent being treated by Watermark Projects’ bespoke DAF (Dissolved Air Flotation) as part of their design and build service, Landia’s AirJet will keep the balance tank aerated, ensuring that solids are kept in suspension.

Comprising a Landia Chopper Pump and a venturi nozzle (ejector) that sucks in air (and therefore oxygen) and then mixes the wastewater, the AirJet eliminates the need for compressors, bottom-mounted diffusers and advanced controls.
Alistair Fielding, Water Projects Manager for Watermark Projects, said:
“Landia equipment is always very reliable; easy to install and maintain. We know we can depend on it to deal with the peaks and
