Creating Reliable Pollution Containment
At Sandfield Penstock Solutions, we provide comprehensive drainage assessments and maintenance services to help you understand how your existing drainage system is designed to function and to help ensure that it operates when you need it to.
Understanding the flow of liquids from your site is the key to developing effective pollution containment systems. By viewing your drainage system as the primary pathway for potential pollutants, we can help you identify opportunities to contain harmful materials before they reach the environment.
We help produce precise and clear drainage documentation, including 3D drainage plans, to help you mitigate and in the worst-case scenario, defend a pollution release.
Why Conduct a Drainage System Assessment?
A drainage assessment provides critical insights to ensure your drainage networks provide sufficient protection during a pollution event or to support your defence in the aftermath of a pollution release. A well-maintained drainage system is the foundation of pollution containment, designed to remove or contain liquid and pollutants in emergencies, such as spills, fires, or floods.
Common issues identified during a drainage system assessment can include:
- Misconnections - Incorrectly directing foul or polluted water into surface water pathways.
- Benching Failures - Erosion of manhole chamber structures leading to groundwater contamination.
- Damaged Pipes - Leaks in underground pipes that reduce containment reliability.
- Equipment Failures - Oil separators not maintained or alarmed, leading to silt buildup.
- Unclear Runoff Pathways: Lack of knowledge about drainage pathways' final destinations.
