High-Pressure Vessel Replacement – Manchester Apartment Block
Client: City Centre Apartment Block
Location: Manchester
Service: Booster Set Vessel Replacement & System Recommissioning
Industry: Residential Property / Facilities Management
The Challenge
During a routine service visit, our engineers discovered that all three vessels on the site’s high-pressure booster set had completely failed. The vessels were waterlogged with zero air charge, and diaphragm failure meant they couldn’t be drained. To complicate matters, the existing isolation valves were non-functional, making both routine servicing and emergency isolation impossible.
The system was operating at 14.5 bar, requiring precise and safe handling.
Our Solution
NT Cloke returned with a long-term upgrade plan, delivering a safer and more serviceable installation:
- Replaced 3 failed vessels with 2 larger vessels rated to 25 bar
- Installed flow-through combination isolation and drain valves
- Capped the centre isolation point to make the system safe
- Charged and recommissioned the vessels
- Completed a full booster set service on site
Results
✅ System restored to full working order
✅ Pressure vessels now safe and compliant
✅ Future maintenance will be faster, safer, and more efficient
NT Cloke Pumps & Water delivers high-quality, futureproof solutions for high-pressure systems in city centre developments and apartment blocks across the UK.
