A 70% fall in pipe bursts through pressure management.
A pressure management system was installed on the Bodrum drinking-water network to prevent bursts caused by high pressure; pressure imbalances arising from elevation differences were resolved.
- Pipe bursts
- 70%reduction
- Energy cost
- 30%saving
- System installed
- PRV + pressure-reducing valve
- Monitoring
- Central pressure tracking
The challenge
Large elevation differences caused pressure imbalances on the network; at night, excess pressure caused pipe bursts.
The solution
Pressure-reducing valves and PRV (Pressure Reducing Valve) systems were installed. Pressure monitoring points were set up and central tracking commissioned; night pressure was optimised.
Results
- pipe bursts fell by 70%,
- night pressure optimisation was achieved,
- network service life was extended,
- a 30% saving in energy costs was achieved.

Project summary; exact values are verified with the utility's operating records.
Result
Managing pressure cuts both loss and bursts.
Excess pressure raises both the leak flow and the risk of new bursts. Pressure management is one of the lowest-cost loss reduction methods.
