GEWS Commercial Services - Blockages

Blockages

GEWS Ltd have a large and comprehensive fleet of high-pressure water jetting units that are capable of clearing blockages affecting small diameter drains to large sewer and culverts, ranging from 150mm to 1,500mm drains. We have the capability for off road /remote access utilising a tracked remote reel and tractor mounted units. For larger diameters, man access can also be arranged. With a range of specialist jetting equipment, we have the ability to clear build ups of debris and blockages made up of encrustation, silt, concrete and rust scale.

GEWS Ltd will provide trained operatives with appropriate RAMS (risk assessment and method statements) to cover Health and Safety, and Environmental aspects.

We can also deal with the clean-up of overspilled sewage following a blocked drain. This will include wash down and disinfection of the affected area, including removal of any debris.

Drain Jetting

Drain jetting and desilting is how drains, sewers, pipes, and chambers are kept functioning correctly. With our vast range of equipment and vehicles, we have the capability to clean industrial and public sewer lines (rain and waste water) and also remove and safely dispose of the sediments clogging them. Using high pressure water jetting, the build up of silt is broken down and is flushed downstream where it is vacuumed from the next manhole. We remove all sorts of residue from sumps, pits, and grease traps to ensure a running drainage system.

Additionally, we have a range of nozzles such as flails, bombs, and root cutters, for any stubborn obstructions that can’t be cleared by high pressure water jetting alone.

GEWS Commercial Services - Culvert Cleansing

Culvert Cleansing

GEWS Ltd can utilise the high pressure jetting and vacuumation as a method to cleanse storm water and highway culverts /structures of accumulated silt/gravels and detritus to return the hydraulic capacity to as laid condition.

Where appropriate, particular for older stone built culverts a CCTV survey is carried out to confirm condition and then guide, cleansing by high volume flow as opposed to high pressure. GEWS Ltd can provide a repair service either as confined space entry or dig down and repair or replace. In certain circumstances a lining solution may also be appropriate and we will assist the Client in determining the best whole life solution or “work to budget”.

This method can be also used for below bridges and other structures where access is difficult or working widths restricted to remove accumulated debris and detritus either as part of pre storm works or post flooding events where structures have been compromised by build of silts/gravels carried down by storm/flood flows.

CCTV Drain Surveying

Following a blockage, it is quite often necessary to have a CCTV survey carried out to determine the exact cause so the appropriate measure can be taken to avoid further blockages. It may be just a general maintenance issue, where drainage hasn’t been cleaned, or scale and silt deposits form, which require high pressure water jetting to clean. However, if the problem is more extensive, then a full report can be generated together with a site plan and photographs of the exact defects along with a comprehensive quotation to carry out the repair work.

GEWS Ltd have a comprehensive range of CCTV units that are capable of surveying small diameter drains up to large sewer and culverts (range from 100mm to 1,500mm). With larger diameter, this can include man entry.

All our CCTV operators work to OS19X (the industry benchmark) standards.

GEWS Commercial Services - Gully, Catchpit and Linear Drainage Cleansing

Gully, Catchpit and Linear Drainage Cleansing

Gullies, catchpits, and linear drainage take storm water run-off from roads and paved areas. Often, they become blocked with dead leaves, soil, and other items, preventing the efficient flow of water from the gully grating to the outlet/drain. A blocked gully can lead to serious flooding, accidents and damage to road and paved area surfaces. Gully cleaning removes any debris from the gullies and restores full operation. GEWS Ltd can provide a specialist drain and gully cleaning service to carry out all drain and gully cleaning work; not just the public highway network but for car park or factory estates.

GEWS Ltd gully cleaning operations are carried out to the highest level; we are currently working with several local authorities across Wales and England. GEWS Ltd have a range of vehicles with trained operators and undertake gully and catch pit cleaning, linear drainage (ACO channels/”Beany” kerbs) and inter connecting pipework.

High, Medium & Low volume tankers available

Tank Cleaning

GEWS Ltd offer the services of commercial tank cleaning. Where possible, the cleansing will be undertaken without the need for confined space entry. However, in other circumstances, we will use our experienced confined space crew to make entry, and by the use of high-pressure water jetting, jet all surfaces clean and vacuum the waste into our assisting vehicles.

GEWS Commercial Services - welfare units servicing

Welfare Units Servicing

Welfare units are self-contained facilities, usually found on construction sites, with their own water supply and waste system. GEWS Ltd can offer to service these facilities, by supplying potable drinking water to refill the water tanks, whilst also emptying the waste tanks.

This can be done on an ad-hoc basis, or we can set up a recurring visit, as often as needed, to ensure that the welfare units are always ready to use to make life on site, that little bit easier.

Septic Tank Emptying/De-Sludging of Treatment Plants

Septic tanks, cesspits and treatment plants need to be at the very least annually to prevent issues arising such as overflow, pollution, foul odours, to name a few. Within our fleet, we have a range of vacuum tankers, starting at 1000gallons up to 7000gallons, meaning we can assist with most tank empties. The vehicles come in varying sizes, with some having off road capabilities, which helps with access issues, as septic tanks are more often than not, in hard-to-reach areas.

We also offer a wash down service, as well as a septic tank inspection should your tank need that little extra attention.

Our operator will undertake a visual appraisal of your tank and under new NRW/EA requirements sign off on the attendance register. Should there be an issue GEWS Ltd can assist by undertaking a more detailed assessment and provide a recommendation and quote for any work that is required.
