Minimizing Disruption and Maximizing Continuity During an Emergency Valve Installation

Large City in North Carolina — In July 2025, a large North Carolina city faced a critical infrastructure repair on a 12-inch water main running along an essential roadway servicing both commercial and residential areas. The section of the line required urgent repair, but the stakes were high: a complete shutdown would have resulted in water loss for two major businesses as well as a large multi-resident housing neighborhood.

The risk of widespread service disruption posed serious consequences for local commerce and daily life. The utility needed a solution that would allow them to isolate the repair site without interrupting service to their key customers.
