Project Type: Drainage Jetting and Installation
Services Provided: High-Pressure Drainage Jetting, Drainage System Installation, Site Clean-up

Project Overview:

A large commercial property in [Location], was experiencing recurring flooding issues in their car park and loading bays due to inefficient drainage. Water pooling during heavy rain caused damage to the asphalt, inconvenienced employees, and created safety hazards for delivery trucks. The management contacted Albiecon Group to assess the situation and provide a permanent solution to prevent further flooding and water damage.

Challenges:

The site faced several challenges, including:

  • Severe Blockages: Years of debris, dirt, and oil buildup had led to severe blockages in the drainage system.

  • Damaged Pipes: Some sections of the existing drainage pipes had collapsed due to the pressure from heavy machinery, causing water to overflow onto the surface.

  • Heavy Usage: The drainage system needed to handle large volumes of water, especially in the car park and loading areas.

The key objective was to restore the current system with high-pressure jetting and replace any damaged pipes to ensure proper water flow, reducing the risk of flooding during storms.

Solution:

After a detailed site inspection, the team at Albiecon Group implemented a two-part solution:

  1. Drainage Jetting: We began by using high-pressure drainage jetting equipment to clear the existing blockages. This method involved blasting water at high speed through the pipes to remove built-up debris, grease, and silt. Jetting was a critical step in restoring proper water flow and preventing future blockages.

  2. Drainage System Installation: Once the system was clear, we identified sections of the drainage pipes that had collapsed or were damaged. Our team excavated these areas and replaced the old pipes with durable, heavy-duty piping suitable for the high traffic and heavy loads typical of commercial properties. Additionally, we installed new catch basins to capture surface water more effectively.

  3. Site Clean-up and Testing: After completing the installation, we conducted thorough testing to ensure the drainage system was functioning at full capacity. We also restored the excavated areas, leaving the site clean and ready for business operations.

 

Results:

The newly installed drainage system has significantly improved water flow throughout the property, eliminating water pooling and preventing future damage to the asphalt and loading bays. [Business Name] no longer experiences flooding issues, even during heavy rain, which has enhanced both safety and operational efficiency. The company was particularly impressed by the speed and professionalism of the team at Albiecon Group.
