Expert Management of Critical Foul Water Systems

Foul drainage systems are responsible for safely and hygienically carrying wastewater and sewage away from commercial, industrial, and residential properties. The failure of these critical assets can lead to serious health hazards, environmental contamination, and significant operational disruption. At Civil Connect PLC, our Subsurface Solutions division provides a complete range of services to manage, maintain, and repair your foul drainage network, ensuring it remains fully operational, compliant, and efficient.

We understand the urgency and sensitivity required when dealing with foul water. Our expert teams are equipped with specialist technology and operate with the highest standards of safety and environmental care, providing a reliable solution for everything from an emergency blockage to a full system rehabilitation.

Our Foul Drainage Solutions

We have structured our services to cover the entire lifecycle of your foul drainage assets.

Cleaning & Unblocking

When a foul drain fails, a rapid response is essential. Our cleaning services are designed to resolve issues quickly and effectively.

  • 24/7 Emergency Blockage Removal: We offer a 24-hour emergency call-out service to rapidly clear blockages in sewage pipes and foul drains, minimising downtime and mitigating health risks.

  • High-Pressure Water Jetting: Our advanced jetting units can remove the most stubborn blockages, including grease, scale, and solid objects, while thoroughly cleaning the pipe walls to restore optimal flow.

Inspection & Diagnostics

Understanding the condition of your foul drainage is key to preventing future failures. We use advanced diagnostic tools to provide a clear picture of what’s happening below ground.

  • CCTV Drain Surveys: Using state-of-the-art crawler and push-rod cameras, we conduct detailed internal inspections of foul pipes to identify blockages, structural defects, root ingress, and collapses.

  • Asset Mapping & Condition Reporting: We provide comprehensive reports, including high-definition video footage and detailed drainage maps, giving you a complete record of your system’s condition for compliance and asset management.

Maintenance & Servicing

Proactive maintenance is the most effective way to prevent costly emergencies and ensure compliance with environmental and water authority regulations.

  • Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM): We design and deliver bespoke PPM contracts tailored to your site’s specific needs. This includes regular cleaning, inspections, and servicing of all foul drainage components, including grease traps and pumping stations.

  • Root Cutting & Removal: Where root intrusion is a problem, we use specialist robotic cutting equipment to remove roots from within the pipework, preventing further blockages and damage.

Repairs & Rehabilitation

When a foul drain is damaged, we offer a range of repair solutions to suit the situation, prioritising minimal disruption to your operations.

  • ‘No-Dig’ Trenchless Repairs: For damaged pipes, we specialise in CIPP lining and patch repairs. This trenchless technology allows us to repair a pipe from the inside, avoiding the need for costly and disruptive excavation.

  • Excavation & Pipe Replacement: For collapsed or severely damaged drains where trenchless methods are not viable, our experienced civil engineering teams manage the full excavation, pipe replacement, and reinstatement process safely and efficiently.

Design & Installation

In addition to maintenance and repair, our specialist department provides a complete design and installation service for new foul drainage systems. We work with developers, architects, and principal contractors on projects ranging from new commercial builds to major system upgrades. Our end-to-end service includes creating fully compliant designs that meet all necessary regulations (including Building Regulations Part H) and managing the entire installation process, from deep excavation and precision pipe laying to the final connection to the public sewer.

We have both Civil and Mechanical Engineers who collaborate to create technically robust and highly efficient drainage solutions. This allows us to manage everything from network hydraulics and pipe specifications to the structural integrity of the installation.

Using the latest CAD and drafting software, our team produces detailed, compliant designs for projects ranging from new commercial builds to major system upgrades. We work with developers, architects, and principal contractors to deliver an end-to-end service
