Environmental 

Poor drainage systems can create a pathway linking a potential pollution source to a receptor, allowing environmental pollution.

The implications of poor environmental practices are irreparable damage, loss of reputation and significant fines. In recent years fines have had included a deterrent factor based on the company’s annual profits.

Unlike our competitors, our drainage inspections include environmental and legal compliance considerations to remove the risk of pollution and unintentional illegal practices.

We can advise on drainage maintenance, suitability, condition and the design and installation of new oil interceptors.

Pressure washers and vehicle wash downs are frequently seen on sites and are a key area of environmental pollution. In order to comply with the Water Resources Act 1991, discharge from a wash down or pressure washer cannot discharge to a surface water sewer. Yet, this is a common area of non-compliance and can be expensive to rectify. 

As drainage consultants, we can advise on the best course of action to take for an effective system operating within environmental best practices.
