Drain Survey & High-Pressure Cleaning on London Construction Site
Wondering how Drainflow can support major construction projects? Here’s how: our drain clearance specialists just completed drainage work for Wates Construction at one of their sites in North London (NW10).
The job involved a CCTV drain survey and high-powered jetting for the foul and storm water drains onsite. Ensuring clear and efficient drainage systems is crucial on any site, and we were pleased to provide Wates with Drainflow’s expertise and specialist equipment, ensuring their build could proceed without any drainage issues.
Avoiding Delays – The Importance of Onsite Drain Surveys
Foul and storm water drains are critical infrastructure on construction projects and, for this reason, they’re vulnerable. Heavy machinery, groundworks, and site debris can easily compromise them leading to blockages and delays.
Why carry out drainage checks?
First and foremost, to prevent or clear potential blockages that could halt work or cause unpleasant backups. Second, a CCTV drain survey ensures compliance with storm water discharge regulations.
Finally, a clear CCTV inspection can identify pre-existing issues before the main work starts. It’s a vital step in site safety and preventing unexpected delays and problems down the line.
Inside Your Drains – Specialist Equipment for Inspection & Cleaning
The Drainflow toolkit includes specialist technology for thorough drain assessment and cleaning.
CCTV drain surveys involve sending remote crawlers with 360° waterproof cameras into the drains. This sends immediate, real-time visual data on pipe conditions directly to our engineer’s computer.
For drain cleaning we use powerful drain jetting equipment. This uses robust, flexible hoses to deliver focused water jets at immense pressure (over 3000psi), effectively scouring pipes clean.
This combination allows us to diagnose problems, pinpoint their location accurately, and provide powerful cleaning solutions, in order to keep drains clear and flowing on demanding construction sites like the Wates project.
